Dave, Astonished at the numbers of DOLANS there were in Leitrim! Had a quick look at records yesterday after new PC installed (Windows 8.1 character-building!) The main area of Dolan/Magauran activity takes in Leitram east, Cavan north, and Fermanagh south (approx.). One could draw a wide circle around those boundaries within the three Counties and find them. Similar situation to the Border Reevers who controlled both side of the border - a new way for me to look at Irish families. Dee.

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-ballyconnell-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.
