Hi Liz, The book I've got is all to do with the Galtees area of co.Limerick/Tipperary, but if I come across the names you mention, I'll certainly let you know. I've had contact with Margaret Franklin of Limerick library before, very helpful. Good luck in your research, and thanks v.much for your nice message.

Hi Mags, You are very welcome! I am going to email Margaret Franklin right now. I have had a wonderful exchange with Tony Storan also of the Limerick Library. He is very nice too.
