Obit for Bridget Rogerson b 1857/58 has place of birth listed as Castle Ffrench, Parish of Kilrone, Co Galway. Cannot find her listed in Ireland Civil Registration of Births at all and am trying to access religious records, cannot find a parish named Kilrone. Does anyone have an idea of what parish this 'may' be?
Hello Deborah
Many thanks for leaving a message on the Ireland XO website.
Please see the link http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/galway/ahascragh.htm. There is a Rogerson listed in Kilaglass, which is near the Castlefrench area.

It might be worth your while, just dropping a line to the Parish Priest in Ahascragh, seeking information on your ancestors. Let me know how you go.
