Castleteehan vs. Castlemore Family Name is IGOE

I have paperwork that my great grandfather was from Castleteehan although I only notice Castlemore within Roscommon County.  I would like if anyone knows what parish our family might have resided in 1800s.  I was told it was a farm.  Thanks, Bernadette

Hello Bern and welcome to IrelandXO, 

 

I did a few look-ups and found the following: 

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie  ;

From the above link I found this link           http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Roscommon/Castleteheen…;

There is a family of Igoe   Bridget Igoe along with her family.  This is the 1901 Census.

 

in the 1911 Census of Ireland   only Mom Bridget along with her Son James are in the family home.  see link:  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Roscommon/Castleteehan…;
ALSO
There is a 2nd Igoe family in Bohagh    see link:   http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Roscommon/Castleteehan…;

 

Note:  the next Census of Ireland is eagerly awaited here in Ireland and due for release in the next year or two, it was delayed on account of the troubles here in Ireland 1916 -1922.

Did a Newspaperarchive look and came across this belonging to James Igoe.

Good Luck with your research
