hi, re: I continue to search for the townlands where my Monaghan ancestors lived. Bennet MCGUIRK was born in Monaghan about Oct 31, 1825-1830. His parents were Patric MCGUIRK and Bridget WOODS. He was supposed to be one of 8 sons. I believe my g-g-g-Grandfather was Patrick McGuirk b.1804 from ANNAGALLY, Scotstown, Monaghan.He was certainly the leaseholder in Griffiths valuation 1858-1860.My grandmother grew up in the house at ANNAGALLY and was living there in the 1901 Census.There are Tithe Applotment Books (1824-1835) that show the leaseholders in the 1820-1830s.Regards,SEAN
