May I suggest you translate it into Gaelic which will give you Bearna Bo (with a long 'o') and prounounced Bar-na Bow. Then anglicize that and it gets you close to Barnaboy in the old parish of Kilnamanagh, now part of Ballinameen.<p>The Reverend was more likely a Plunkett as opposed to your spelling. I'd expect any relative of St Oliver Plunkett (beheaded at Tyburn) to be Catholic. Interestingly, there were two Plunkett families in Kilnamanagh in 1901. The Griffith Valuation is not available to me.<p>As for Payte, consider alternative spellings, e.g., Pate, et al., especially as there's not a single Payte in the Irish phonebook today. I'd look next in Griffith's (c. 1856) for "sounds like" including Payton, Peyton, Patton, Pate, et al.<br>
