Hi Beverly, I have your placenames and hope that you do have success in finding the records for your family. Kilark = Killark Killark is a townland in the Parish of Magheracloone, Barony of Farney, Poor Law Union of Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan. This townland consists of 172 acres and 5 perches. Cool-dairy = Coolderry Coolderry is a townland in the Parish of Magheracloone, Barony of Farney, Poor Law Union of Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan. This townland consists of 263 acres, 3 roods and 23 perches. To complicate matters, there are two other townlands named Coolderry in the same Poor Law Union and Barony; however, they are in different Parishes. One is in the Parish of Donaghmoyne and the other is in the Parish of Magheross. I decided that the townlands of Killark and Coolderry that I mentioned in the beginning of this message are your best bet, as they are both in the same area. Just wanted you to know that if you don't find them there, then you should look in the other locations. Enjoy!
