  1. Cloncolry is the name of my townland. There were 21 families in it and Reynolds is the most common name and long ago it was called Reynolds' townland.
    Once two men in Cloncolry cut bushes that were not to be cut, and when they were finished, they sat down under the bushes and drops of blood fell down from the bushes on them.
    It is situated in the Parish of Bornacoola in the Barony of Mohill. None of the inhabitants speak Irish.
