Hi, looking for clarification.  What is the difference between Rahever and Raheever in Co Cavan and where would I find the former?

All help gratefully received  gilli48

HI,
It looks like the spelling, one has an extra "e"
You must have found them in 2 different places, it happens, also it depends on who typed the info into the site.

Hi,
    Raheever is about 3 Km west of the town of Oldcastle in Co. Cavan but on the Co. Meath border.

Here it is in the OSI 6" mapping series from the 1830s/1840s (other maps eg. 25" map from 1890s/early 1900s and satellite images available to select over to the right of the screen):

Not many buildings there, Griffiths Valuation has a print date for the area of 1856 and lists only one tenant, Edward Rotheram. Note how the outline of the copse in the centre survives to this century.
