My Murry [Murray] ancestors came from the Cong area and, since it is near the Galway border, If any Cong residents actually lived in Galway with cong possibly being their nearest market or church town. Thanks, Dan Murray
Dan I know it is a while since you entered the above but I would say that Cong was quite close to clonbur Also calle3d an Fairche. Cong is also near Islands in the Corrib which are connected. I taled to an old man a few months ago who said people from Cong used to come to the fair in Oughterard in boats. Headford is also not far away as is shrule. Look at www.shrule.com. I believe cong has a website or it may come under Sound East Mayo.
