However,<br>I do have one bit of nice-to-know information. You mentioned<br>Dillons of Ballintober-Ballymoe. During a visit to St. Bride's <br>Church in Ballintober I copied the tombstone inscriptions of the<br>priests in the churchyard. From 1830 to 1868 the priest of that church was Thomas Dillon. He died July 24, 1868 at age 70. <p>Cheers,<br>Tom Voyles<br>

The O'Rorkes I know were more south of the county.<p>Thanks <p>Patrick<br>
