Jane, You must be on every Irish genealogy list! Hahaha :) I have MAHERs from Co Laois. Still putting together names and dates as some living relatives have been located whose ancestor moved to Co Laois. The move would have taken place between 1860 and 1919. Hopefully my "new" cousins will be able to tell me more. I don't even know the townland yet! (Tho I will venture a guess that it would be close to Co Carlow, where the family came from.) Debbie
