Longford. The "oldest" was Andrew who appeared as someone's best man in the early 1830's in the church register. I couldn't find a marriage record for Andrew but according to baptismal records he had had a bunch of children of all the ususual names before, during and after the famine. I don't know how close Abbeylara is to Balymahon. Anyway, Andrew's son Michael is my g-g-g-grandfather. Michal married Rose Farrell of nearby Barry townland (her father was Patt. Farrell) Russ
