Hello I am looking at the parish registers for 'Pallasgreen and Templebredon' and there is a place of birth for the John FRANKLIN and Honora SLATTERY family in the 1860s and 1870scalled "Lough" Does anyone know what location this is? For what it is worth the family was in Brackyle in 1860 before they were in Lough, and these Franklins seem to have been Oola a generation earlier.Thanks for any insights.

Here is a link to all the townlands in Co. Limerick which start with Lough.

Hi Roger,
I cannot log in and I am trying to answer the query of 12th Oct re Lough.
Its Leugh like the name Luke its in the civil parish of Doon near Glengar. I was born in this area and heard people talking about this townland. Its very near the area in the query. Many thanks.

Hello and thank you Christina and Roger,
I had come to the conclusion, based on this family being in Brackyle on the 1901 census and Coolnapisha in the 1911, that "Lough Coolnapisha" was the location meant in the Pallasgrean & Templebredon parish registers by "Lough." I never would have thought of "Leugh" townland, which I will definitely investigate.

Hi
Lough is a area between Brachile and Coolnapisha John Franklin lived in this area in the 50s when I was a child. He was a man in his sixries at the time. The farm was sold after his death.

Definitely, Lough is between Brackyle and Coolnapisha, Malachy Ryan (Lar) and his family lived there with his wife Mary and their children have this listed as their place of birth/baptism. It doesn't appear in later records may be included with Coolnapisha. That seems to be the case with this family.

I've been researching the Ryan Darbys from Coolnapisha. After looking at the records, I concluded that Lough is Coolnapisha. There is no Lough in the Tithe records (1826), and Malachy Ryan lived in Coolnapisha then, yet in his children's records, "Lough" is listed. Maybe it was a micro townland, but it never caught on.
Google Maps has the location as "Lough Coolnapisha", which seems to back this up.
