Dave, you jest, More akin to up and creeping! Installed 'Çlassic Shell' which helps immensely. So, Drumreilly with a double L; then Ballyconnell, and I need to become acquainted with a lough fisherman - easy-peasy. :) :) The castle ruin more resemble a quite small, possibly fortified, manor house from the existing photos. Are these ruins still in existence? I imagine it will be easier to start in the recent past and work back, see what comes up, as I have no idea exactly who I am searching for, excepting the father of g-g-gfather Felix Dolan of Meenagleragh would possibly be named Owen with a birth date c1750. So, Drumreilly and Blacklion graveyards where I know Dolans are buried - pay particular attention to familiar given names first. This would include just about every Dolan in Leitrim - reading through them was like repeating a litany of my family. Quite amazing. Dave, thank you so much for your help yet again. Truly, there are 'Legends' on this wonderful list! Dee. PS: Anyone researching Dolan, Maglone, or Magauran of Leitrim and Cavan? Would love to hear from you. -----Original Message----- From: fermanagh-gold-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:fermanagh-gold-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dave H via Sent: Tuesday, 10 March 2015 8:52 PM To: fermanagh-gold@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: FERMANAGH-GOLD Leitrim Dolans Ahhhh. up and running again!! Yes there would be a lot.. Magauran Castle is on side of lake in Co.Cavan BUT the south and West shore of the lake is the county line between Cavan and Leitrim so if you are in a boat on lake you are in Cavan..go ashore there and you are in Leitrim. You were looking for Magaurans with Dolans and you know they used to have a bit of fun with each other, marrying each other, shooting each other etc in the area around the Castle and that some went to Fermanagh. So, Drumreilly C of I g/yard would be nearest church to there and some RC Dolans are buried there. I put some Drumreilly pics on IGP but doubtful if triple plot was one of them as it's not clear enough to transcribe but one stone goes back to 1700's with names/dates on another fairly recent. Again you'll need to be careful because there is a Drumreily Barony and a Drumreilly Barony and these are not one and same!! Simple. :-)) Ballyconnell even has a Magauran.. http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/cavan/photos/tombstones/cavan-ballyco nnell-coi/target18.html I don't read stones just point camera and click when passing, so only saw it when I got home. The Castle, I reckon, is the homeplace!! (as starting point!). If only you knew of a fisherman in Co. Leitrim who goes around all the lakes in the area..... not much chance of that!! :-)) Dave.

Yes still there by lakeshore... you are correct it would have been a fortified house recently discussed. Pub across road too....!! :-)) In it's day it would have looked big, called a castle but really only a fortified house! Imposing in its day.
