Ty, Laois was called Queens *County*. >From www.bartleby.com Queenstown (Ireland), "formerly called the Cove of Cork. The name was changed in 1850, out of compliment to Queen Victoria, when she visited Ireland with her husband, and created her eldest son Earl of Dublin. " So, it was in Cork. I only found one name like Newnham in my Griffith's Valuations CD: Index to Griffith's Valuation of Ireland, 1848-1864 Newnam, Eliza County : Cavan Parish : Kilmore Location : Rocks Regards, Christina North Carolina, USA On Thu, 15 Aug 2002 13:00:05 -0000, Circe wrote: >Hi list! >could sks please let me know if I am looking in the right place for >the above gr grandfather?
