www.thecore.com/seanruad is a fantastic site for finding details of townlands and parishes in Ireland (be sure to change default setting from exact match to search for part of a word) but I can't see anything listed there.
What is the source for 'Bohermore' and what sort of place name do you think it is if not a townland or parish?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

[Edit: oops, didn't realise the original post was from 2009]

Bohermore is a residential street in Galway city.  It is (or at least was in 1850) in a townland called "Townparks"

Here it is on a map:

Here's some details about Townparks from galway library placenames database (usually an excellent resource, but doesn't seem to know much about bohermore)
http://places.galwaylibrary.ie/asp/fullresult.asp?id=11441

In the census, Galway city isn't split into townlands, and Bohermore is in "Galway north urban"
