Dooish & Griffiths

Based on the location of the McNeil's home, we can tell the location of the original McBride plot from the 1840s in Griffiths.

There are two John McBrides in Dooish in Griffith's Evaluation, one in plot 10A & B to the left and one in plot #2, to the right (Dooish is a big townland, this is only the northern part):



So the McNeil plot is #2, and likely that was John McBride's too (and birthplace/home for Anna McBride McCallion).

If I had realized I likely would have spent hours crawling the fields, especially down by the river!

Note that someone probably knew this, and just didn't realize that I didn't know!
