Hi Michelle, Per the IreAtlas -- There is both a Leabeg placename and a Ferbane placename in Co. Offaly (King's Co.) Ireland in the Province of Leinster, Poor Law Union of Parsonstown. It is possible that the former is a town and the latter a townland, so would be just one location. I don't know for sure. Some detective work on the Internet would give you the answer. (It is also possible that the landowner lived in more than one place). There is a large Leabeg townland area of of 751 acres in Co. Offaly, Civil Parish of Lemanaghan, Poor Law Union of Parsonstown. (It should be noted that there are Leabeg placenames also in Cos. Wicklow & Roscommon). There is a large Ferbane townland area of 356 acres Co. Offaly in the Civil Parish of "Wheery or Killagally," Poor Law Union of Parsonstown. (Check and see if this parish had a name change over the years, and check and see if there is a small town called Leabeg located in Ferbane townland. This would be my best guess. To complicate matters, there is also a Ferbane Town in Co. Offaly which is evidently partially in the Civil Parish of Gallen, partly in the Civil Parish of "Wheery or Killagally." This is also located in the Poor Law Union of Parsonstown. You could try some of those nifty map websites on the Internet you can zoom in and zoom out and move around to better define these locations. Look for Ferbane and go from there.
