It is necessary to go through this page Diocese by Diocese and see if there is any reference to surnames such as those listed for the Ossory Wills shown here. The main surnames I have or had an interest in are listed in that. In some instances I have taken references to variations on a name which would be missed if you just look for the surname and well known variations. Please refer back to the article on Wills if you do not understand what these indices are. Please do not ask me for any more information on any name here. I have none.
For placenames see the following – Ireland Townland database and Ireland on line Interactive maps. If the name is spelled as it was in 1851 or now then it will be found when you search. The townland atlas also allows for partial searches so that if you cannot find the place as spelled in this file then if you use only part of the word as here it may possibly be found using the IreAtlas.
