http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlwex/townlands.htm This place is not on the list, but the word Arthurstown popped into my mind, and GOOGLE does bring up pages on an Arthurstown, County Wexford. I can envision that word being mis-read from old writing as Achertown..... I don't have time now to look for it, but it seems to be south of New Ross, east of Waterford Harbor Cyril could probably give you more specific directions!
