Hi L.
Wow thanks for all of the info, unfortunately, not knowing which towns are nearby and what material is what I have no idea of what I am looking for or at. I did send an email to the parish but as yet have no reply (as it is only early there right now). Inchiquin you show as being also known as Dromoland, is that correct? Should I also try and find information under that name? The only information I had in my initial search was the Griffith Valuation which may have listed both Stephen and his father Patrick. Now knowing his mother's name I do not know of any siblings so therefore cannot link other family members.
Any assistance whether by suggestions or lookups would be so wonderful.
Many thanks for your help once again.
Kindest regards,
Paula
