Title: Is there such a place called Clogher, Ballaghadeerin or something similiar?
Post by: Sharron__ on Sunday 06 January 19 01:44 GMT (UK)
I attached a picture from a newspaper article but I cannot find the place in question.

So if anyone knows the place or has any idea where it is...I’d be very grateful.

Thanks!

Ballaghadeerin or Ballaghaderreen is a place in Co Roscommon.

Clogher seems to be the location of an old stone fort on the Ballaghaderreen road

Oh wow...that’s super helpful.  Thank you!   My ancestors were there around the 1830’s.
