I am posting a reply to this old post, even though it is not appropriate because I cannot figure out how to make a NEW post. Here' goes
I found baptismal record that indicate the baptism took place in rootsireland.ie See cut and paste of the record below.
Cloneen, Clough, County Kilkenny..
When I go to townlands.ie and start to drill down to look for the Cloneen townland to find the map and boarders, I see that there is no Civil Parish named Clough listed
I am only able to find Cloneen on townlands.ie if I use the Civil Parish of Castlecomer.
If I go to the registers section of the National library of Ireland and I look at their map I see Csatlecomer and directly north of that is Clough. https://registers.nli.ie/
On the NLI website the baptismal records of Castlecomer and Clough are listed as being in separate Civil Parishes.
I find this confusing.
Was Clough at one point a civil parish and at some point later Clough was merged into Castlecomer?
Anything to enliighten me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
