I am related to the McGreals in Westport, there are a few McGreal, Families but ours came from Carnalurgan outside Westport.   

This would be the Patriach

One of the McGreals does marry a Ralph, these are connected to the Manulla Ralphs,
I am also a related to Niamh who was mentioned, she has extensive work done on the McGreals.

I haven't heard of any of the families emigrating to the UK, just Austrailia and the States.

Hi Christine

Just saw this post now, there is a townland now in Newport called Derrada

You often find the Placenames change between Griffiths and the Census's

Hi

You can take the N5

It bypasses Charlestown and Swinford and goes through Bohola and Ballyvarry Villages.

You can take the road from either Castlebar town or Westport town to Achill.

I note you mention Ballycroy on your list as well, you will be passing nearby on the way to Achill.

Hope this is helpful

Just looking up the map for Griffiths, I find Jordans and Brogans living in the same area -Kilconduff

Link to Parish Site

This area would be near Foxford, just approx 5 miles from Knockmore Parish.
When you drive around the Ox Mountains in Foxford, you are very near the Sligo Border, hence the reason they may have moved to Sligo.

This is an interesting site,.
It says that a "Catherine Brogan" from Knockmore had sailed prior to the Titanic and was awaiting friends
Also an Annie Jordan cancelled...no address for her

Better get some work done,     good luck with your research
