Offaly (Kings) / Re: Townlands of Ballyvlin and Keeloge
« on: Friday 16 August 13 02:23 BST (UK)  »
Ballyvlin was originally part of the Ballylin estate of the King family. After Independence, when the Land Commission divided up the large estates of Ireland, Ballyvlin was born. Ballylin still exists and caused plenty of confusion over numerous years as to which area is which. My family had countless paintings  of the original Ballylin and of the King family and my grandfather worked for the Kings. Ballyvlin and Ballylin are two distinct and seperate areas of Ferbane and should not be confused with each other.

If anybody needs any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. ( As you can guess, I'm fairly passionate about this)

Hi, I lived in Ballyvlin for 11 years from the time I as born there, at Home. It is approx 750 metres from Keelogue, I passed it every day coming home from school and my best friend lived in Keelogue. So, anybody telling you that Keelogue is 45 KMs from Ballyvlin is talking absolute rubbish.  Keelogue was such a part of our lives that, my sister who Lives in Co. Kildare, actually  has an official postal address ovf Keelogue. I can tell you the names of everybody who lives there if you wish.
