Hope someone with local knowledge can assist. I've just received a series of letters (1855 - 1881)written to my GG Mother, Catherine Hurley, in Aus from her Mother and Brothers in Offaly, probably close to Roscrea. In several, she is asked that return mail be addressed to a person in Roscrea, then later, a CONACRE postmark appears on envelpoes.
