Marjorie. -----Original Message----- From: Ross Irwin [mailto:rossir@freespace.net] Sent: May 20, 2000 5:58 PM To: WEXFORD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WEX] townland problem An obituary for William Webster (written by his brother who used the same info) states he was born "at Killenane, near Gorey". There is no such townland listed in the "book". What would be the chances it should be "Killynann" which is just a bit north of Gorey? To an Irish ear would they sound the same? He was Church of Ireland. Anyone give an opinion? ______________________________
