There are 6 Michael Noone's in 4 Parish's and 2 Poor Law Union. A Union Town covers a 12mi area that contains, parish's townlands, towns and villages: NOONE Annagh, PLU Claremorris Attymas, PLU Ballina Ballinrobe, PLU Ballinrobe Kilcolman, PLU Claremorris Annagh 0 Gannon, 0 Dixon, 1 Hogan Attymas 0 Gannon, 0 Dixon, 0 Hogan Ballinrobe 2 Gannon, 0 Dixon, 12 Hogan Kilcolman 4 Gannon, 0 Dixon, 0 Hogan That should help you narrow down Parish's. Telephone book for Mayo, 30 Noone, 59 Gannon, 12 Hogan and 14 Dixon you can match these up to the areas indicated by the PLU or towns.
