If you search/google for Eyrecourt, Galway .......you will see the map.  Then search/google  The Parish name CLONTUSKERT, Galway you will see that map.

Then if they were Catholic use this site, pick up Galway look to the right of Galway and and you will see Clontuskert.

Margot,

You are an angel.  I went through Griffith's Valuation about two years ago and found 243 John Foley's.  I did the same for Cavanagh, Malone and Farrell and cross referenced all four names by counties and parishes, in a spreadsheet.  I hadn't looked at Galway since I found this information.  There was a Farrell in Clontuskert during this time and it looks like Cavanagh's in Kiltormer, which is right next to Clontuskert!!!

The Griffith's record lists Gannaveen as a townland but when searched on Google maps, lists it as a cornfield.

I will search through Clontuskert for baptisms, marriages and deaths since there are records from 1827-1868.  I have no idea if John and Ellen had more children but if they did, they could have been married in the same parish.

Thank you SOOO much.  Do you think there would be a cemetery associated with the parish?

Pat

Hi,  This site..... Find a Grave - Millions of Cemetery Records  does have Clontuskert graves, but these are only when a relative of kind person enters the details.

I have just seen this.......a project that is on going.
 St Augustine's Graveyard Clontuskert
May be a local to the area would tell you more.
(we used to go the music festivals and in the day time we would search graveyards for people overseas, so I know most of them)
Sadly I have not been to this one, sorry.

You say..........................
The Griffith's record lists Gannaveen as a townland but when searched on Google maps, lists it as a cornfield.

Try this.....in future..... type in on google/search townlands in County Galway
Then search for Clontuskert............ then look for Gannaveen
This is the map see below............when you look at a google map ............I see it looks like a corn field.     Then type in on search Gannaveen county Galway it usually shows a road map when you change it to satellite and see where you see the corn field it's an area.  You have to match the town land map with a google map. move the map and you will see houses....farms etc where you see L8714 this is a Lane and it's number. When you R355 it's a Rural road. 
Sorry if it sounds kiddy English. 
Griffiths valuation maps....... when you see the out lines of the townlands in red that is from the date stated (1837 to 1864). you will also see lots of black lines, the black lines are from the Tithe records  (1823 to 1837)  match the area again with the townland and the modern map.
