    I live in the Townsland of Baltinglass which is a fairly large Townsland. It is also in the parish of Baltinglass in the Barony of Upper Talbotstown. The approximate number of families is 150. The approximate numer of people is 750. There are two types of houses in the district thatched and slated. Slated house are the most common. The most common family names in the Townslan are Doyles, Byrnes, Tooles, Nolans, and Lalors. Baltinglass got its name from an old King who was given chase to a wild boare from Tara.
