For what it's worth, two Wexford townlands that bear a resemblance to "burra Burra" are 1. Brocurrow in the civil and R.C. parishes of Adamstown 2. Corramacorra in the civil parish of Kildavin, R.C. parish of Piercestown. The nearest resemblance is Brú Ború, the name of the Heritage/Genealogical centre for Tipperary South, located at Cashel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cyril Newsome" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 3:54 PM Subject: Re: [WEX] Bill STAFFORD contact me > The nearest you are going to get to this one Jim (and Peter) is The Burrow > (Ballyteigue Bay) which runs from Kilmore to The Cull in Duncormick.
