My grandmother, Helena O'Reilly grew up in what was called the Pottle. She married Patrick Kiernan whose family was from Longford.
I've seen upper and lower "Pottle" on the map but I believe the house was in that area or called that. Later she and her husband settled at Killdalen House in Cavan. The house is still there. Thanks for any help.

Your grandmother was from Killeshandra. Likely they moved after the marriage,.

Thank you so much for your time and effort. I made the mistake of giving her the wrong last name- O'Reilly instead of Reilly. But all the information you still found. I'll keep it for our family, so thank you again
Patrick Kiernan and Helena O'Rielly are my great grandparents! My grandfather was their son, John Benedict Kiernan.
