  1. My Home District

    Share Share Post
    My home is in the village of (Ballinode) Ballinode. The townland is Mulaghmore west. The parish is the parish of Tydavnet. The barony is the barony of Monaghan. There is about thirty families in the townland and about fifty people. McAree is the most common name in the townland. Slated houses are most common. There are several old people over seventy in the district. The late Robert Graham of the point could (Graham of If (?)) tell a story in English and Irish. Houses were more numerous in former times. There are about ten ruins in the district. Numbers of people emigrated to America in former years.
    The land in this district is hilly and is good for tillage and pasture. The river Blackwater flows through Ballinode. There are numerous streams and lakes in the district. Quighlough is a lough near Ballinode and when the old canal was in use it was the feeder of the Ulster Canal. Rosefield
