Margaret... If you have the time & are able could you look up in Griffith's for me the following: Arthur KELLY, wife Alice (my great gpa, John KELLY was born abt 1845) also: BANNON, first name unkn, wife Mary, (my great gma Kate BANNON born abt 1855) John KELLY & Kate BANNON were married in North Commons, Trim, Meath in 1871. First child born North Commons, Trim, Meath 1872. I realize KELLY is probably asking too much...so I understand if you can't do it...I don't know if they are searchable by first names & surnames. Thanks a bunch... Blessings...

I can check the Griffith's Valuation Index to see if they are listed in the townland. Usually people would say they were from the largest town in the area, so would assume your relative would have been referring to the townland instead of the parish. > > Beannachtai, > Margaret (Mairead) > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Fay Finn > To: [email protected] > Sent: 29 July 2003 6:26 AM > Subject: [MEATH] townland question > > > Just a general question: How can a person find out what townland an > ancestor is from?
