Hi, Thanks for responding to my query. After I placed my query on the LIST, it suddenly occurred to me to go to one of the map sites on-line. On Expedia.Com I found Athlone. Then I went to the Int'l telephone book to see if there were any Corbin family listed there and there were, but since I didn't have the given name or an initial, it wouldn't show me the entire list of Corbin's. So-o-o-o, I'm hoping someone from that area may see my query and maybe do a look-up in the directory for me. My g-g-g-g-g-grandfather, Timothy Corbin and his wife Mary Annie Chase lived in Athlone. Their son, Ahijah Corbin came to America with Gen'l Howe during the American Revolution and it is this family I'm researching. Many thanks for your help and wish me luck.
