Dear Clare, Thank you for this advice - I have been able to get Ballinwear using Ballinw* as you suggested, but I'm still not able to get it using the full townland name. Strange!! As it happens, the Slattery family I was looking for was not in this townland, despite all the other information I had (including oral information and graveyard headstone inscriptions) pointing to it. In fact, the family was in the adjacent townland of Loughourna. You assistance is appreciated. Regards, John Slattery. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Clare Tuohy Sent: Sunday, 6 September 2009 8:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IRL-TIP] FW: Re: 1911 Census John I have been able to get Ballinwear in the census by putting in Ballinw* into the townland section of the search box and nothing else.
