Thanks Maria, but it's definitely Clonmoney and Ballycasey. I've visited the houses and the area and have a number of documents connecting the family to those houses. If I could work out how to post a picture I'd post a picture of the old Ordnance Map that shows them very nicely.

Incidentally, while Clonmoney House is mostly tumbledown, Ballycasey House is now an office complex on Shannon International Airport and houses the local craft centre.

The ordnance map should be here http://images.yuku.com/image/gif/8f625e5997b237cd9e191eaa2c14c83f36ea631.gif

and a modern day aerial view of the same area should be here http://images.yuku.com/image/x-png/0521569bb771949674ca989cbe23aca12007014.png
