It is in the back of a ledger containing tithe payments to the church in parts of Longford. It simply contains a distribution list of religious teaching tracts / prayer books...... the reference is M1502 I hope this helps. It would be nice to see the whole document available on line. Other sources are on the Irish Times Website under genealogy. Ray

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YWC.2ACI/3938.3947.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Scott An appendix to my last message: Stralohan is indeed a townland. Although our family always referred to it as Stralohan or Straloghan this seems to be the modern spelling. It used to be known as Sraleaghan. It's total area is just 199 acres (about one third of a square mile). Another correction: the Hustons didn't take over the Lawrence farm at Stralohan when my great uncle died. However, the Hustons were neighbours and great friends of the Lawrences. In fact, there is still contact between the two families. The letter you have transcribed at http://users.ev1.net/~dcook2/codo/Lawrences.htm is a great find for us. I am almost certain it was written by my great great grandfather, James Lawrence. It gives a great insight into the difficult times in rural Ireland in the 1850s. In the letter James mourns the loss of his eight year old son, John. Three years after the letter was written James had another son. They called him John. He never married and is recorded in the 1901 census as living with his brother James (my great grandfather) and his family at the house in Stralohan. You asked about Carrmahan, the place mentioned in the letter as being the home of your ancestor, Richard Lawrence ("...The Lathers and Farises that got your place in Carrmahon..."). This is referred to in old records as Corramahon, a townland in Leitrim. Corramahon and Stralohan were in the same parish (Drumreilly) and were probably a short distance apart - certainly no more than a mile or so, possibly much closer. Ian

You might want to check out the yahoo group "drumkeeranfolk" which is for those of us with ancestry in this specific area (Inishmagrath Parish). You might find some cousins. Good luck.

Fellow genealogists, Have you ever used the Internet to learn about genealogy methods and resources? Taken a genealogy course online? Read some 'how to' articles? Then I would like to hear from you. I am an Australian Ph.D. student who is currently writing a book chapter for an academic Virtual Learning Environment publication - my chapter is about using the Internet for genealogical education. I would therefore love to hear from you, fellow genealogists, about any Internet-based content you've used for genealogy education. This includes online courses (free or fee), how-to's, articles/columns, newsgroups, BBS, chat, mailing lists, forums, or even personal web pages that publish learning material - anything online that helps you in learning the craft of genealogy. Your comments on the following is of utmost interest: What are your favourite learning outlets on the Internet? How often do you use them? Can or did you find what you needed online? What are your learning successes? What could be better? What do you look for in genealogical learning on the Internet? If you would like to participate, your comments are extremely welcome. Please send your comments to me directly at [email protected] before Saturday 1st May 2004. I thank you in advance for your participation in this academic research. Kylie Veale P.S.

Stralohan is a small area near the town of Ballinamore in County Leitrim. I always believed that it was a townland (typically an area of about one square mile) but now I'm not so sure. I can't find it on an database of Leitrim townlands. It's certainly not a town. I'll check and get back to you. Stralohan is still there so you can visit if you like. I'd be delighted to meet you. I live in Belfast, about 100 miles from Leitrim. Where are you from? I haven't heard of Carmahon but I'll look into it. The Lawrence letter posted on your site is fascinating. I am trying to make sense of some of the names. Was it written by Richard Lawrence's son to his cousin, Richard, the son of James Lawrence II? One or two of the names in the letter are familiar. My great grandfather's sister, Maggie Lawrence married a man called Farris. Also, the Huston family were closely associated with the lawrences in Stralohan. In fact, I believe the Huston family took over the farm and land at Stralohan of my great uncle (Jimmy Lawrence) when he died in 1991. I have been trying to see how you are connected to the Lawrences. Am I right in assuming that your great grandmother was Helen Ida Lawrence? if so, how is she connected to the children of James Lawrence II which you have listed on your site? All the best.
