Janet: I am reading this exchange with interest.  My great great grandfather was born in Cappawhite at about 1800.  He grew up in a village then called Hunt's Grove.  Was the old village of Hunt's Grove also in Limerick rather than Tipperary (as I'd thought)?  If you know.  Thanks  Dan ________________________________ From: Janet Crawford <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, March 23, 2011 11:51:39 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-LIMERICK] Cappagh Civil Parish / Co Tipperary South? or Co Limerick ?

Two things can happen after that. First, if there was a village there, the whole village may have begun to be called Hunt's Grove, and that may at some point reverted back to its old village name after the War of Independence. Second, a village may have grown around the estate and called by the estate name. In the latter case, the name would probably stick. Hunt's Grove was either solely an estate name or a village that has now reverted back to its previous name because it no longer exists as a village name per the Townland Index. Because it no longer exists I can't tell if it was in Tipp or Limerick or bounced back and forth like some others. If it sat on the border area, it probably bounced. Digging out these name changes is one of the things that is quite exciting for me and proving helpful for others. Cappawhite is a very messy parish as to borders and which townland was in it at what time. Janet
