Hello
My name is Wendy Williamson and my sister and I will be in Tullamore on Sept 10/11/12 and are looking to connect with family members from the Payne and / or Whitfield families. We have traced our roots to these families from Rahan Derrycooley in the late 1700's early 1800's can be reached at phantasma7@shaw.ca any help connecting us would be greatly appreciated.

John Looby Paynes in Clara are related to the Paynes of Derrycooley.
John Looby I remember a Payne going to CBS in Tullamore. Few years ahead of me. Think they were related to Rahan/Derrycooley Paynes too.
John Looby Brendan Cantwell or Tommy Byrne might know the lad I'm talking about
