Matilda O'Kane - born in "Flanders".
Hope this is of some help, in relation to a sense of place. Matilda O'Kane, here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000615163/ is listed as being born ("Where Born") in "Flanders". Flanders is a townland approximately 2 and a half miles outside Dungiven, in the direction of Drum and Gortnaghey, and it's exact location is between; the Ballyguddin Road (locally known as the 'Moss Road'), the Drumrane Road, and the Altmover Road. It is the same small townland where the highly historically significant "Dungiven Costume" was found - more about this at: http://www.limavadyancestry.com/a-short-history-of-limavady-borough/limavady-in-the-1600s/ . Please see the Google Maps link to the location of the townland of Flanders, Dungiven, County Derry:

Hope this information is of some value and not a distraction, for anyone not living in County Derry.
