Thank you to all responded about old townland names and modern road names. I believe Kilmacanty must indeed be the modern form for Kilmackenny. My ancestor's sister is shown as christened at Clonroot and there is a Clonroot Rd. close to Kilmacanty Rd. _________________________________________________________________ Play free games, earn tickets, get cool prizes!
