  1. Where I Live

    Share Share Post
    I live in the townland of Rockbrook. It is situated in the parish of Rathfarnham, Co Dublin. The townlands which surround the townland of Rockbrook are -Whitechurch, Edmondstown, Mt Venus. Tibradden, and Kilmashogue.
    Whitechurch is so called because a woman by the name of White got a church built there.
    My father, Thomas O'Toole gave me the foregoing reason for Whitechurch getting its name. Tibradden is so called because a man or old chieftain named Bradden lived there long ago. When he died the townland was called after him.
    My father, Thomas O'Toole gave me
    the information about Tibradden getting its name.
