Hello,
Where can I find a place called 'Garryharry'? It is in Ireland and I think Donegal.
Thank you,
Hera

Have you tried a Google search? It seems to be near Letterkenny.

Found Garryharry linked to Letterkenny (2 1/2 miles) and Kilmacrenan via newspapers.

This article mentions Garryharry ancestry with the name of the townland Garrowcarry (Griffith's Valuation)-

Garrowcarry is mentioned in 1901 and 1911 census-

I had come to the same conclusion, that it’s Garrowcarry, checking the newspapers for people living in Garryharry around the time of the Census, I settled on Garrowcarry.
