Hi Glenys, This may sound a silly question but when you are researching folk in Ireland anything is worth an ask. Do you have any HANNON with GILLICK or REILLY connections in the 1700-1800 century?

Unfortunately I know nothing about townlands.  I'm thinking this is something I should research.  Clare Library sounds good.
