- This is the townland of Drumury in Moyne district in the Parish of Dromard in Barony of Longford. The townland got its name from bog or moor. Most of the land is reclaimed from moory ground. There are nine families living in Drumury. There are 41 people. At one time there were six families of Smiths but now there is only one. There are two families of Reilly's and two of Mc Naboe's. They are mostly thatched houses except Patrick Reilly's which is slated and one half of Peter McNaboe's is slated also. There is no old people in Drumury except Mrs Grimes. She knows no Irish. She can tell lots of old "scarmogues".
