Thanks for this - looking at Google Maps' driving directions it seems we are talking about the same area. My sister may make it over to Ireland next summer and it would be wonderful if she was able to visit this area! Rachel -------------------------------- Hello Rachel, Cloonrow is on the R416 (rural road) 1 1/2 miles from the village of Urlaur on the way to the village of Gorthnganny. Oceanstrands

Hello Rachel, Your sister shouldn't have any difficulty finding Cloonrow, if she does she can ask locally in Urlaur village. There's still a Grennan listed in Urlaur in the phonebook here. You can search the 1901 online Mayo census for Grennans through the following link, just select Mayo as the search county and enter Grennan as the Head of Household surname: http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/1901census/census.shtml There are several Grennan entries in the local parish records which have been transcribed and listed on the East Mayo website: http://eastmayo.org/Kilmovee_Baptisms_1854_1910_and_1881_1913.htm Pat and John Grennan (Grunnin) are listed in the Tithe Applotments in Cloonrow and Urlaur (Orlaur)in 1825: http://www.connorsgenealogy.net/Mayo/KilmoveeParishTithes.htm Oceanstrands --- On Tue, 11/11/08, Rachel Goulet <elsoar@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Rachel Goulet <elsoar@gmail.com> > Subject: [IRL-MAYO] Cloonrow > To: irl-mayo@rootsweb.com > Date: Tuesday, November 11, 2008, 11:28 AM > Thanks for this - looking at Google Maps' driving > directions it seems we are > talking about the same area.
