I have found there are lots of "Ballys" in Wexford....hard to narrow it down.  And most of Wexford is in the parish of Ferns...I don't know if anyone distinguished between parish and diocese then.

Cara's spelling is correct in the pronunciation of the place  and the church is called St Mannon & Assumption, a Curacy to the Parish of  Rathangan. For Ballyoughton, research BALLOUGHTON  pronounced as BAL-OCKTON and the COI is called St.Pauls in the Parish of  Bannow, records for this are in the RCB in Dublin.
