Licensed School House Glenely?

[Ida Mae]

I am looking for information on the Liscensed School House Glenely [/u] parish of Culdaff barony of Innishowen county Donegal.  This is where my gggrandmother Elizabeth Ida Betts was baptised, this information was recorded in her fathers bible, (by her father Thomas Betts who was a school teacher in Ireland).  Another entry in his bible states he moved to Grouse Hall June 1845 left Aug 1851.  Does anyone know of a web site that tells about these two places, The Liscensed School House and Grouse Hall.

Lewis's Topographcal Dictionary mentions that there were several private schools in Culdaff Parish

Glenely = Gleneely which is near to Culdaff

Grousehall is in the parish of Templecarn

Thank you so much for your help

There was a school in the Grouse Hall area of Gleneely built in 1851 so I think the one you are looking for would be a previous one.
Grouse Hall, or Grousehall, has been referred to as both a specific place and also a geographic area, presumably the surrounding area to the actual building. 
There is a protected structure called Grouse Hall in the area, which would have also existed at the time you are looking at.  "Grouse Hall, Gleneely, Liffford.  Detached seven-bay single-storey over basement house, built 1735, with two- storey extension on L-shaped plan to south-east and single-storey extensions to rear south-west."  (Source: Donegal County Council http://www.donegalcoco.ie/media/donegalcountyc/heritage/pdfs/CDP20062012RECORDOFPROTECTEDSTRUCTURES270508.pdf)
