Sligo / Re: Drumcliff - Ballinfull. Was Ardtarmon Castle a village at some stage?
« on: Friday 02 September 16 20:20 BST (UK) »Thanks to the Catholic Registers coming on line through the week, I have been lucky enough to find links to my elusive "Hooks" side of the family. It says for the place of their residence (in 1868 and 1872) was "Ardtarmon" and am wondering if at some stage there was a hamlet or village in the area, or, as I suspect, they were working and living on the estate. Googling gives me only accommodation facilities and there is little in depth history available.
Any help to dig a bit deeper and further would be much appreciated.
Hello
I'm 63 and was born in Cloghcur the adjoining townland to Ardtarmon. They was a lady we called Lizzy (Elizabeth) hooks living on the family farm in Ardtarmon when I was a kid. The farm was sold (probably in the late 1960's) My brother lives on our family farm in Cloghcur and would have more info.
Have you any other roots in the Drumcliff/Maugherow area
Regards
Michael
