    I live in Townland of Urbalshimmey in the Parish of Drumholm, and in the Barony of Tyrhugh. There are five families and twenty four people in this townland. Harron is the family name most common in this district, and all the houses are slated except one. There are no old people living here. Long ago houses were more numerous but there are no ruins to be seen now. Some of the people died and other emigrated to America. The land is very hilly about here.
