Dear Rosemary:

Many thanks for your post to the Ireland Reaching Out message board.

As you are in Ireland now, the best piece of advice that I can give to you is to go to the local post office in Ballylongford, and mention the family that you are looking for as you believe that you are related.I have sent a message to the post office in Ballylongford on your behalf so please do stop into them and they will try to assist you if possible.

Here is the 1901 Census record if you don't have it already:
