Father's Birth Village My late father, Barnaby O'Leary was born in 1908 in county Cork near the town of Macroom. He said he was born in a very small village of Proust(?) I have Googled but cannot find a village named Proust. Do I have the spelling correct. Is it too small to be registered on a map? Could I be mistaken? Any help in clarifying this would be appreciated. Thank you!
Barnaby J. O'Leary Rohnert Park,CA 94928 internet: barnabyo@pacbell.net Barry It would be on an Ordanance Survey map 1:50,000 if it exists Barra My Grandfather Michael O'Leary was born in 1900 in Clondrohid, which is four miles from Macroom. His father was Jeremiah Peter O'Leary who had a brother called Barnaby. Timeline would be wrong for your father but possibly your Grandfather. He also had sisters Kate & Ellen Kevin Also just seen if you do a google on Griffiths Valuation & O'Leary Clondrohid you will find a Peter O'Leary Prohus Clondrohid Macroom - Kevin |
