Pete, Thanks for all the effort you put into the search for Limerock. Checking all those sources was a big help to me. I checked for Reynolds names in GV of Co Limerick and there are a few but nothing that looks promising. Michael and Catherine were married in Mohill, Co Leitrim in 1851 and the appear in USA in 1865 with 8 kids. Limestone beds in Leitrim is a good thought. Concerning the Lime Rock race track in CT, you don't know how close you came. You see the family landed in NY, moved to West Haven, CT for a short time, and stayed in Smithfield-Pawtucket, RI. By 1900 the children had scattered, a number of them to Bristol, New Haven and Bridgeport, CT. I am still working on vital records for them in that area.

The Ordnance Survey's Gazetteer of Ireland, 1989, does not list Limerock (or anything like it - except for Limerick and Limerick Junction, of course) as a post office location in all of Ireland. The Archaeological Inventory of Co. Leitrim has a section listing "Local and Historical Names". Nothing like Limerock there, either. I wondered about the name being used locally in an area of lime kilns...... but there don't seem to be any in the county. I'll have to do some reading-up on lime kilns, as Leitrim is loaded with limestone and has no lime kilns, whereas mid-Cork has no limestone and dozens of lime kilns. So, I don't think I can be of much help. You may end up having to stick with the Limerick alternative. Sorry i couldn't find a Limerock for you. Would the Lime Rock racetrack in neighboring Connecticut be of interest to you <gr> ? ............................................................................ .. ...
