: Could anyone tell me if a town or village named<br>: Fairymont exist near Ballyleague?<br>: Thank you,<br>: Don Hanley<br><b><br>Hi Don,<p>This is an excellent task for the Leitrim-Roscommon<br>Townland data base.<br>Go to the L-R Townland search page and type in <br>"fairy" or "fair" into the Townland field. The<br>fewer characters you use, the better. This will<br>help eliminate the chance of a misspelling. From<br>the list of Townlands that displays, pick the one<br>that is the closest to the Townland that you are<br>looking for (spelling or sound). Write down all<br>the information that is displayed.<br>Do the exact same process for Ballyleague. Once<br>again, you can enter fewer characters if you wish<br>just in case there might be a spelling issue with<br>the Townland name you've been given. From the list<br>that comes up, make your selection of the one that<br>you believe is closest to "Ballyleague" and write<br>down the displayed information.<p>You can now go to the Civil Parish maps (find the<br>link from the home page), look up the two Civil<br>Parishes that you selected for your Fairymont and<br>your Ballyleague. Once again, remember that the<br>spelling might be slightly different. This is a<br>very common issue when doing Irish research.<p>If you have any problems, please drop me a line<br>at my email address <a href="mailto:efinn@thecore.com">efinn@thecore.com</a>.<p>Good luck with your research.<p>Ed Finn<br><a href="mailto:efinn@thecore.com">efinn@thecore.com</a><br></b><br>

: Could anyone tell me if a town or village named Fairymont exist near Ballyleague?<br>: Thank you,<br>: Don Hanley<p>Follow up: Fairymount and Ballyleague are very close to each other in the Parish of Kilgeffin, county of Roscommon, near or in present day Lanesborough. Fairymount used to be called Sidh Neannta, then Mullaghshee, on ancient and old maps near the present day village of Lanesborough. Ballyleague is the English for Baile-atha-liag which crossed the Shannon at the present day village of Lanesborough. It was also called Ath-liag. Pete Hanley phanley@arnoldcom.com <br>
