There are no directories that would list people from Coolrain over the periods you mention Gordon............ Colrain is a one street village. Is, was and always has been. It has two pubs and maybe a third but I've never noticed it! The pubs are probably there as long as the village - I've no notion of their ages, but the one that is called Sheerans may possibly be older than the other. So, that would be your best bet as regards finding the pub that Martin Pheland owned/rented whatever when he was about. Pubs in Ireland or a lot of them tended to have shops - that is pub and shop in one - the owner could probably list the building as whichever he chose. You walked in and there was the grocery section where the Missus served.........and then at the back was the pub. Sheerans is one of the better well-known pubs in Laois - for it's music, the fact that it is thatched - no longer owned by the Sheeran family, but leased out. The other pub in the village may well have been there when everything was thatched and back when Martin Phelan was about..........more than likely so. I've never been in it, but I have in Sheeran's - so I guess maybe I'm biased towards there. I have photos of set dancing in Sheerans...........maybe some inside, but definitely outside - not much of the pub itself, but really more a little like what the Laois people can be at (as well as the others who join them from other counties and other parts of the world when they get going) and I can send you some copies if you'd like. Mind you, these would be big files and take a while to download. Thought I had them on my web site but can't seem to find them - only Dowlings in Errill.

Thank you Michael! there are sure more than the map said. I will look into this. I am grateful. tish

I am new to this list, and have tried this question on other lists without success. Perhaps I will be lucky. I am looking for the parents and siblings of Thomas VANSTON born between 1810 and 1818. There were not many VANSTON's in Ireland that I could find on the surname map. But Laois was one of the Counties that named a couple. Thomas married an Agnes Brenan in Ontario Canada, but they had known one another in Ireland. He came to Canada about 1830. Does anyone recognize the name VANSTON? I would be grateful for any information. Thomas is my gr.gr.grandfather. Thanks, Tish from BC Canada tish@cablelan.net

I have and additional bit of info that comes from Coral who is the Co. Wickow IGP Coordinator. She wrote to Eneclann Ltd to check out whether there would be a cost involved etc. The answer is that there will be. "We plan to publish the entire original set of Griffith on-line (all 300+ volumes), but on a pay-per-view basis. It will be cheap, and you will be able to search the source and see the original pages. It will also be free at the National Library of Ireland's premises only." I hope this helps.

Conor Newman, an archaeology lecturer at NUI Galway, said the discovery at the ancient site made sense of the positioning of other graves and monuments in the area. Mr Newman, who has been working on the Hill of Tara under the State-funded Discovery Programme since 1992, was delighted by the find. "It fills a very important place in the jigsaw because it allows us to make sense of the distribution of other monuments all around it." The Discovery Programme, set up under the auspices of the Heritage Council, carried out a survey of the Hill of Tara between 1992 and 1996 when Mr Newman was director. When Mr Newman moved to Galway he continued to be involved in the project Using sophisticated technology, he and his team of experts mapped what was underground. The work was slow and tedious because it yielded such a huge amount of information. What they uncovered eventually at the crown of the hill was a huge, oval-shaped monument measuring about 170 metres at its widest point. Around it are 300 post holes measuring two metres wide, indicating a massive human effort involved in the construction. "We think it probably dates from 2500 to 2300BC and still had a big physical presence even after the posts were taken out or rotted," Mr Newman said. While the monument is located just below the ground's surface, there are no plans yet to dig it out. "There was a time when excavation was the first step in archaeological research. That's not the case now because it really is the systematic destruction of a monument. When you are dealing with something as important as the Hill of Tara, you don't do something like that lightly." Mr Newman reckons they will be able to learn more about the site from the data before the ground itself is finally excavated. "What we have is the clearest underground image I have ever seen. This one jumps off the page." Mr Newman is concerned about a planned extension of the N3 motorway from Clonee to just north of Kells. One of the sections from Dunshaughlin to Navan runs along the east side of the Hill of Tara. I have absolutely no doubt that they will be destroying dozens of monuments connected to Tara. ************************************************************* Ellen Evert Hopman, author, herbalist, Druid Priestess www.geocities.com/gaias_song/willow.html " Gaine daughter of pure Gumor, nurse of mead-loving Mide, surpassed all women though she was silent; she was learned and a seer and a Druid."
