    1. Drumatemple/Drimtemple Civil Parish Re: [GALWAY] Ballymoe
    2. Jane Lyons PhD.
    3. There is a town called Ballymoe in Drumatemple Civil Parish (according to the 1851 Townlands directory) but, in 1837, this civil parish was called Drimtemple, according to Samuel Lewis. The town of Ballymoe is in County Galway, but the civil parish as a whole spreads through Galway and Rosocommon counties. Now, according to Lewis in 1837, the Roman Catholic parish is part of that of Ballintubber (Ballintobber), and there was a slated Chapel in Ballymoe. Roman Catholic Records for Ballymoe are not listed under county Galway, strangely enough - they're listed as covering County Roscommon only, but the title is "Ballintobber & Ballymoe" (Ballinakill & Kilcrone) according to my version of John Grenham's Tracing your Irish Ancestry - and he got his list from the National Library here in Dublin. The LDS do not have a copy of this film - or didn't when this version of Grenham was printed - they may have now. Baptisms begin only in 1863 and are in poor condition - marriages in 1864.
