Mayo / Re: Basquill castlebar

I know this is a late reply but I lately noticed a Hawkshaw-Basquill marriage where Basquill was spelt Baskwell - on church records (which includes marriages - these are recognised by the state) it was up to the priest/minister how the name was recorded. I often see a different name variant of the baptism and the civil birth registration. Might be a small help.

Roscommon / Re: Durham house
« on: Tuesday 25 June 24 22:58 BST (UK)  »
Just came across this post by accident and it relates indirectly to something I was researching. The Roscommon Journal for February 1844 carried an article about an attack on Martin Kenny the steward to C W. Blakeney of Hollywell (the next townland to Derrane) and I quote "that very active and praiseworthy magistrate, Edmond Corr Esq of Durham proceeded to the places and succeeded in apprehending a young man of the name of Tighe". I think that confirms a Corr association with Durham House in 1844. Hope this is some small help.
