Hi, according to your parish list the parish of Kinculbrack and Kilculmagrandal are in Lower Cumber but in the Griffiths Valuation they're in Upper Cumber, did they at some point change?
I'm looking for info on the Jameson family from Kincull which I think is also called the Kinculbrack but haven't confirmed this yet.

Anne:
You are correct. The two townlands you mention are in Cumber Upper. It looks like all the townlands shown in the writeup for the civil parish of Cumber Lower are actually the townlands in Cumber Upper.
I will alert our HQ of the problem. We are in the midst of moving to a new web site platform so it will be awhile before we can correct the page.
By the way, I looked at the 1901 census for Kinculbrack and there were no Jameson households.

"Kincull which I think is also called the Kinculbrack" -- it is not unusual for local people to shorten a long name like that when they refer to it, like an informal knickname. My dad came from Sheenboro Quebec (an Irish community in Canada) but I never heard him call it anything but 'Sheen'. My website tries to list as many variant spellings of Irish townlands as I find in official records, but have nothing for Kinculbrack yet ... http://digdat.ajmorris.com/places
