meaning of "Oge" and "reagh" and "ny" in Irish names
I have been unable to find the meanings of oge, reagh, and ny used in several Gaelic names associated with my family. I am guessing the first two are related to the son's family position, whilst the last one means maiden name of the woman?? I would appreciate any assistance with this one.
thanks.
thanks.

Re: Deerpark ~ is it a house or a neighborhood in Ennisymon?
Hello - I have come across "Deerpark" a couple of times in the History of Clare book. Just do a "find all" search using that term.

Re: Kierce/Kerse/Kierse families near Corrofin
Thank you for posting the Inchiquin Papers, which I have seen before. My difficulty is getting pre 1819, the likely date of Stephen and Anne's marriage, so that I can follow back both family lines to these earlier ancestors. It's very difficult being in Oz, as cannot access parish records, short of ...

There is evidence of a Francis Kierce/Kerse at the Commons South in the 1820s and 1842 Tax Assessments. ...

Re: Mary Higgins
If she was, in fact transported, it could have been to either NSW or VDL (Tasmania), given the period. You can try a search at the following sites:

Hehir family and geography near Corofin
Hi from warm and steamy Oz - I am trying to ascertain the likely location of my Hehir family. A newspaper report from 1831 relating to one of the family implies he lived between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 miles from Corrofin. I have tried to work out (from Tithe and freeholders lists) which townlands with the ...

Re: Eliza Eagar née Foley (c1831-1917) matron, Corofin Workh
This Patrick Foley may be the brother of Laurence Foley, who died in 1857, leaving his brothers John and Patrick Foley his properties (see prior post mentioning article in the Limerick Leader, and related to the topic Margaret Brew).
