  1. My Home District

    Share Share Post
    I am living in Marston, Parish of Ballyduff. Barony of Coshmore and Coshbride. There are about ten families in the townland. The family name most common in my district is Kenneally. All the houses are slated. I do not know how the townland got its name. There are about four people over seventy in my home district. They do not know Irish. Their names and address are Mrs Pierce, Marston, Ballyduff, Co. Cork. Mrs Fuller, Marston, Ballyduff, Co. Cork. Mrs Kenneally, Marston, Ballyduff, Co. Waterford. Mrs Spillane, Marston, Ballyduff, Co. Waterford. Houses were more plentiful in this district long ago. There are about six now in ruins. There is one wood in it names the Black wood.
