Hi Chris, Thankyou for getting in touch. My ancestry is Bonniconlon West Parish Kilgavan Baroney Gallen. From 1803,1834, 1911,and 1901 up untill 1920 my ancesters lived in a place called the Lodge Bonniconlon, some people say it was a Barracks but I am sure it was not.
I have a census form for 1901 and 1911 in 1911 there was a Catholic Curate liveing as a boarder by the name of William Harte, he came originaly from Sligo]
he lived with my G/Grandfather John Loftus. JOhn was married to a Anne ?but in 1911 John was a widower.This place the Lodge puzzles me no end,John Grandson was born in the U.S.A. but came to Mayo in 1920 the address he gave is on his passport THe Lodge Bonniconlon, Ballina Mayo.
I would love to know more of the Lodge, and where in Bonni: it was.
Thankyou Lep:
