  1. My Home District

    Share Share Post
    My home is in the townland of Oldcastletown, parish of Kildorrery and barony of Condons and Clon Gibbons. The family name most common is Coughlan. The houses in this locality are mostly thatched ones. The townland got its name from the fact that it contains an old castle and at one time it also contained a town but this has long fallen into decay. There are only a few old people over seventy living in this townland namely - David o Keeffe Michael O Regan, Thomas Drake, and Mr. P. Dwane all in the parish of Kildorrery.
    They know a little Irish
    The houses in this townland in olden times were more numerous but many of them are in ruins. A good number of people emigrated to America and Australia in years gone
