- The name of my home district is Kilbeg.
The townland of Kilbeg Upper, parish of Kilbeg, and barony of Kells Lower.
There are about 20 families, and about seventy people.
The family name most common is Reilly. Slated houses are most common.
There are two old people over 70 but they do not know Irish. The houses were more numerous in former times than now. The Land is hilly and good but there are no bogs in it. There is a stream running through it.
