I was able to get over to Ireland last fall for a week, spending four days in the National Archives in Dublin and three days in and around Mountmellick. I stayed in a B&B in Mountmellick and used a woman's bicycle for transport. One day to Rosenallis and the next to Portarlington. I brought back several books. One of which may interest other subscribers to this group. "Documents of Portarlington, No.3" published by John S. Powell it includes "Maps and lots of the sale of Emo and the Incumbered Estates Act, 1852". This describes the sale of the ten divisions of the Portarlington estates and provides townland maps and lists of tenants with map references for the third division. The areas covered are: Cooltederry, Ballymorris, Kilmalogue, and houses in Portarlington Emo park demesne Kilnatogher and Irelands grove Cappakeel Morrett Coolbanagher Ballykillane Killimy Carran Killone Garryduff and Killenny Ballythomas and Killeen Kilmurry Ballyduff Lordship of Lea Lands of Ware's close Lands of Ballymorris Droughill Kilmalogue Derryvilla Shanderry If anyone has anyone in these areas please feel free to email me for a lookup. I was also able to photocopy portions of the COI parish registers for Rosenallis and Mountmellick. I will post the dates of the pages and the names later.
