Hi

Hi,

There is a Henry McKeown listed in the Griffiths Valuation in Castleblaney District , parish of Creggan, townland of Lissaraw and also a Michael Hughes in Castleblaney District ,Creggan Parish, Townland of Dorsy.
If you check out www.askaboutireland.ie you will see them listed and also a map of the area which will show where they lived.  Maybe the houses are  still standing..worth a try.


You could also try contacting the Creggan History society .
