Leydon family - Moneenreave

I am trying to trace my wife's late father's ancestors. Her father was Leo Gerald Leydon (b 1920) and according to his birth certificate he lived with his family in the townland of Moneenreave before emigrating to England around 1937.
His father was John Leydon, who was born around 1877/1878 and I have established there was a John Leydon listed in the 1901 census, son of Peter, who lived in the townland of Glackaunadarragh which would tie up with this.
I understand there was a John Leydon who owned the mine in Arigna valley but the family is not connected to this person.
Would anyone know the OS reference for the townlands of Moneenreave and Glackaunadarrgh ?

Excuse me if I'm reading this incorrectly, but it looks like the discussion is about Moneenatieve and Moneenreave, and Glackaundarragh and Greaghnadarragh. They are are more or less near to each other on Corry Mountain but they are different places.
Glackandarragh is "WAY out the mountain" bordering on both Sligo and Roscommon. It was filled with Leydons and I knew a woman who passed away a few years ago who was a Leydon from that townland.
Gordon says that his family had been in Moneenreave prior to going to England, but I would point out that it is Moneenatieve that borders Glackaundarragh. Also, I noticed that in the 1901 census there were families with the name Byrne, which was the lady's married name (might not mean anything, but might indicate family linkages)
If you are interested, e-mail me off-site and I will give you the name of the women's son so that you can write to him if you are interested.
