Mick, Trevor, This is from one of my earlier postings relating to Clowry information found Dr. Conry's book "Carlow Granite", a copy of which I have. " On page 290 of the subject book, in the section dealing with Michael Brennan (1844-1909), Royal Oak, Bagenalstown, owner of a monumental stone-cutting business, specialising in limestone work (not granite), I found that one of his employees was a James Clowry (1844-1909) whose address was given as Clorusk, Royal Oak. This would then be in the area between Bagenalstown and Wells, and not far from Paulstown where I see from your other postings you identified the presence of Clowrys.
