Title: Rylanes Rathkeale Limerick
Post by: Snow White on Tuesday 07 July 15 00:11 BST (UK)

Hello,
My ancestor came from Rathkeale and I have just discovered that a place named Rylanes which is near or within Rathkeale is mentioned.
I cannot find a map that shows Rylanes so I would be very appreciative if a person could let me know exactly where Rylanes is.
I am searching for WILLIAM HIGGINS 1800 - 1854.
thank you

Rylanes is a townland South East of Rathkeale Just north of Ballingarry.
Use the search by county and that find Rylanes in the list of Townlands.

Also this is the Resources board so it's not designed for requests which are easy to miss here.
