  1. I live in the townland of Lisdaragh in the parish of Killeavan, and in the barony of Dartrey.
    There are sixty families in Newbliss and two hundred and sixteen people.
    The townland get its name from a fort that is behind the village.
    Most of the houses are slated in Newbliss.
    There are only a couple of old people in our district.
    The houses were more numerous in former times, but they are gradually getting built up again.
    Some people went from our district to American and other places in former years.
    There are lakes, rivers, hills, streams, bogs, and woods around Newbliss.
