There are a lot of Dunnings South of Athlone in a parish called Clonown, that takes in a few districts around but mainly from Cornafulla on the Main Athlone to Ballinasloe road to The Shannon river. Clonown is a townland on the west bank of the River Shannon about 5 kilometres south of the town of Athlone. It is entirely a rural area without a pub, a shop or industry. It has a Catholic church, a community centre, and a primary school with 27 pupils. Farms are small and many people have non-agricultural jobs in Athlone. Adjoining townlands include Carricknaughton (between Athlone and Clonown), Curraghnaboll and Drumlosh to the south and Taylorstown to the west. The flat land along by the river, known as the callows. My father Terence (Tony)Dunnings was one of many Dunnings born and brought up in this area around Drumlosh.
