Michelle, I had always known there were two Ballynahinch's (County Down and County Galway). However, I was very surprised when I looked at a copy of the "General Alphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes and Baronies of Ireland" (in PRONI, Belfast). There are actually 13 Ballynahinch's in Ireland!!! They are: 1 Barony: Ballynahinch, County Galway (in which lies a Ballynahinch townland - see below) 11 Townlands: Ballynahinch, County Armagh Ballynahinch, County Clare Ballynahinch, County Galway Ballynahinch, County Kerry Ballynahinch, County Kings County Ballynahinch, County Limerick Ballynahinch, County Longford Ballynahinch, County Tipperary N R Ballynahinch, County Tipperary N R Ballynahinch, County Tipperary S R Ballynahinch, County Down 1 Town: Ballynahinch, County Down (which lies within Ballynahinch townland, County Down). Looking for ancestors in Ballynahinch, Ireland? Best of luck!
