The townland of 'Patches' is located in the parish of OMEY, so if you can find the parish map for Omey, or you may need to consider buying the map from: http://www.pasthomes.com/ or try contacting Clifden main website, they may provide you with a map?. http://www.clifdenchamber.com/index.htm Omey parish is actually two locations because the island of Omey forms part of the parish and is accessible on foot at low tide. The Griffiths Valuation for Patches had the following surnames during the period 1848 to 1864: Lynch, Price, Staunton, Toole. Good luck. Mike.
Thanks Mike! That Staunton listed in Griffiths is my Relative.-PJS "Mike" <grafix2@spam.hotmail.com> wrote in message news:newscache$uenaui$eam$1@phantom.amnet.net.au... > > "Patrick J.
