Wesley asks: === As you turn north on 355 you will come to a small village in about 2 to 3 kilometers where John Malone was born. The town might be Moorfield , Gortnamona or even Feaghmore Eighter. Can anyone tell me the parish that covers that area?? === Wesley, As with most Irish questions, the answer is......... it depends [gr]. "Most" of the townland of 'Moorfield or Gortnamona' lies on the western side of the R 355, and is in Kilquain civil parish. A smaller part of this townland is across the road, to the east, in Fahy civil parish. Feaghmore Eighter is an adjoining townland, on the east/Fahy side of the R 355. To confuse things a bit further, there is a townland of Moorfield, in Fahy civil parish, (separate from Moorfield or Gortnamona townland) which lies only along the east side of the R 355 and abuts Feaghmore Eighter to its north and Moorfield or Gortnamona across the road to the west. This plain Moorfield extends southward to the R 356 road. I'm not so confident of the RC parishes at that period (early 1700's), but it appears that by the mid-1800's, both of these civil parishes were combined into the RC parish of Fahy and Quansboro. If you have further questions on this, drop me a line. Pete .................................................... Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts </HTML>
