Here is the entry from a Galway Petty Sessions Register in 1860. I am rather confused about where the defendants came from It looks like Spaw to me but I cannot find any town or area like that. I have canvassed many people but no answers. The family had connections with Eyrecourt, Killimor, Loughrea, Ballinasloe so I assume that they were from that area.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Dear Adrian
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I have passed this to a volunteer (though, to me it does look like Spaw!)
Best wishes

Hi Adrian-my apologies.My earlier reply to you suggesting that SPAW may have been Heathlawn was wrong.SPAW is located close to KILLIMOR Town.Local volunteers with more intimate knowledge of the area and the LEO Family will contact you shoryly. Liam Irwin.
SO how far from Killimor is Spaw?
My Grandfather used to call the townland of Garryad & Garryduff, Spa. Not sure where that came from but is between Killimor village and Healthlawn.
