Hi Pat, The townland of Ballinscola that you mention is also spelt as Ballinscoola, so if you type "Ballinscoola/Ed Cahercorney, Ireland" into google maps you will find it south of Herbertstown, Limerick. The parish of Killcullane you mention is spelt as Kilcullane and in the Collins road atlas that I have it is slightly SSW of Herbertstown. So if you enlarge the above map and take the road from Herbertstown towards Patrickswell, but after leaving Herbertstown, cross the river and take the first road on the left (it comes from Cahercorney inthe north) and go a few hundred metres, you will see what looks like a small group of houses strung out along the road. This is Kilcullane. It can also be spetl as Kilkellane, Kilkillaun and Kilkillane. In the tithe appplotment books for Kilcullane parish, also spelt Kilkillane, (found on the Connors genealogy site), the are Slatterys in Ballinscoola and Kilkillane, but no Carmodys. >From Kilbrin to Ballinscoola (above) is about 50 kms and from Liscarroll it is about 43kms to Ballinscoola.
