Griffiths lists 208 hits for surname Burtchaell - some as tenants others as landlords. Mostly hits in Kilkenny and Carlow. I would check out the various townlands where these families lived to see if there is a close match to Buchanan or could be mis-transcribed as. If nothing matches you can try to see if any of the townland listed have had their name changed over the years. Also as we have seen not to long ago there are "sub" townlands/locations within townlands which locals know but which are not to be found in townland lists.
