    3. Dear List, I've just learned the name of the precise birthplace of my Barrington greatgrandfather through his sister's family's Bible. We knew the Barrington children (born 1828 on) were baptized in the old Ennistymon church and lived in or very near the town of Ennistymon in Clare. The bible records the birthplace as "Moohanna, County Clare". Could anyone knowledgeable about likely pronunciations tell me if this is likely to be Mooghna (about 3 miles south of Ennistymon) or Moananagh (about 3 miles SE)? Your help will be much appreciated!
