Hi fellow Listers, In the 1871 English census my gg/grandfather, John Mc Carthy, said he was born in "Glendon" Cork ireland. Also, in the same census my gg/grandmother, Ellen Mc Carthy, said she was born in "Rosca" Kery Ireland. What I would like to know is, are these names of towns, or could they be transcription errors? Regards, Roger Mc Carthy (Australia). _________________________________________________________________ Overpaid or Underpaid?

Hi Roger, You might want to try this link: http://www.seanruad.com/cgi-bin/iresrch It is a townland database. If you just put in the counties you mention, Cork and Kerry, you will get a listing of all the townlands in that county. You can then look through them to see if there are any you feel are close enough to be the towns/townlands you are seeking. Good luck. Mary Elizabeth RESEARCHING: McKERNAN/McKIERNAN in Co.
