I now have a new problem and local knowledge may be able to solve it.
My elusive ancestor, Mark Halpen is mentioned in a deed.
Mark Halpen, gent of Ballynamona (sic)- (no date or year)
"A confirmed to B the tenement of GROUSIC, in the town of Maryborough"
This is from the Registry of Deeds, and has been transcribed by volunteers.
Any suggestions as to what the correct name is would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone is interested-
The deed was dated 1771, the tenement was transferred to Mark Halpen of Ballynamoney by John Strange, and the name of the property was 'George Early's Plott'. "Grousic" came from a misreading of "that Tenement or Plott of Ground" where the 'd' was smudged.
