Hi

Thank you both for your info. Looks like I should try other possible areas but I'll keep a copy of your info. as I can't rule out Roscommon entirely.

Cheers

There is also a townland named Tansyfield located in North Roscommon. It is located about 1/2 mile east of the crossroads a few miles south of Elphin off the R368. It is immediately north of Lisduff, which is on the way to Kiltrustan cemetery.
