Thankyou, Mary, for the information on Aghnameadle. I realize that the civil parish is Aghnameadle and the RC parish is Toomevara, but there is also a town of Toomevara and a townland of Aghnameadle (where Thomas Spillane lived). What would be your best guess? Was the article talking about the RC parish of Toomevara or the town of Toomevara? I am thinking that if the article was talking about the town of Toomevara, that is different from the townland of Aghnameadle. I think that as far as the name of a parish goes, Toomevara and Aghnameadle were interchangeable, perhaps because of confusion, but there is a definite town of Toomevara so if the article was about the town of Toomevara (and not the parish), it would NOT have been about Thomas Spillane of Aghnameadle (townland).

Hi Jan, I really don't know, was it in an article I posted, if it was can you let me know which one, I could go back and look again and see if I could figure anything out.
