Paul;

I saw your post on a Glenamaddy facebook page this morning.  My 2nd great grand father, Patrick Comer was born in 1847.  In 1871 he got married in Cloonfad and listed his father as Thomas Comer.  His home town was listed as Wood Bed.  While I am not 100% certain I believe this to be a reference to Kilnalappa just outside of Dunmore.  If you send me a separate e-mail I will forward you a copy of the marriage cert if you would like.

Tom 

Sorry I forgot to give you my e-mail address.
