- Though the name of the house in which we live is Finnoe, Borrisokane it is built in the townsland of Curraghmore, Borrisokane, in the Parish of Kilbarron, and in the barony of Lower Ormond. This townsland is very small comparing it with neighbouring ones, it contains 200 acres, has two farm houses, and two cottages on it. The soil in Curraghmore townsland is very rich, and it is said that some of the best barley going into the Nenagh Malt-house, is grown on Curraghmore townsland and around it. There are approximately 25 people living on this townsland none of them knowing Irish however, but it is said that everyone spoke it fluently in former times.
I, Nancy Donaldson, Finnoe, Borrisokane, heard this from my mother, Evelyn E.[?] Donaldson, Finnoe, Borrisokane, Co. Tipperary.
