anne, your advice sounds reasonable -- is garranbaun a townland or an area or a parrish? i am pretty sure what ever it is, the Flahavans lived in Dungarvan proper. There is some talk that they lived next to a RC church in exchange for caretaking duties, although i think that may have been a later generation of the family. thanks. heidi [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anne Phelan" <[email protected]> To: "Heidi Ford" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 8:14 PM Subject: Re: [WAT] Garranbawn in Dungarvan; Flahavan/Curran > It might be Garranbaun meaning The WHITE GROVE .also may be spelt as > Garranbane .Try THESe .
