Hi Aghadowey.
Thank you for all those records.

 Each bit helps with this puzzle but it looks very likely that Sophie   was not registered.. How that happened we may never know.  May be she was registered with another name but that's unlikely but it's possible. 

Once I piece all the info on this thread together I will see what's next with her. 

Thanks for all your searching.

Hi Sinann,

Thank you for that record  that would be Harriett, dau of R F Gilbert. 
She was a shop assistant in the drapery store run by one of the family at Turret House.

there is some info on Turret House earlier in this thread. 
thanks for helping here.

Hi everyone here, 

Would anyone know where I could find more information about Turret House Farm. I have got views of the place on google but it's a bit hard to tell what the various buildings were.   which is the farm house.  seems to still all be there today.

Interested as there were other Gilbert family members  living at this place.
thanks in advance Essnell,

Do you have the townland for Turret House Farm?

Townland is Ballygrohan.

Hi aghadowey, 
Thanks for that but I already had that link.    It's good information but no photo of any sort.  Another  link shows images from probably Google and those only show roof tops. 

I did google it and as I said - layout and rooftops and not able to see a street view.   The little yellow man would not stay anywhere on the image.  So I think it may be on  a private road of the Blarney Castle Estate. 
Probably out of luck  on this one.

thanks     Essnell.

Hi Kiltaglassan, 
yes exactly . that's the image you sent me the link to.    and it's the same when i googled it seperately.  so cant see what the house was like . 
  It must have been a decent house as it got mentioned on several Gilbert records and in new paper reports about Gilbert marriages as above.   

I have a similar problem with the Shanbally House near Burncourt.  It's there on the Townland map but nothing about it anywhere else. 

very frustrating.....     and a tad disappointing.  but hanks anyway.

You can learn a bit about the house from the House and Building Return in the census.
There are only two houses in Ballygrohan so safe in this case to assume it house number 1

And the Out-Offices etc return tells a bit more

It's really difficult to tell from the aerial view what is the main house, old outbuildings or new outbuildings. There's one block which might, or might not be the house but I'm seriously wondering it the house is even standing now. One the site I linked earlier you can see what other large houses are in the vicinity and all the ones I've checked have photos but there are none for Turret House.
