Hi (again) Marianne . . .
NO . . you dont need a different notice board . . . keep posting fresh info. on original query . . .
SO . . Gortagarry . . . for official location . . is in NORTH Tipperary . . and a long way (in those years) from the borders of
South Tipperary and Waterford . . . Gotagarry is situated close enough to Templemore . .
________________________________________________
When I search " Griffiths " for your Patrick Lanigan . . in that area I get three hits . . . as follows . . .
Griffith's Valuation for Ireland
3 matches for the search criteria: Lanigan (plus variants) PatrickPage: 1 of 1First Page

All three locations are possabilites . . . to pin-point your family . . .
But since you came up with " Gortagarry" . . . then Templemore (being the nearest town of any size) must be top of the list.

At the risk of wrecking your head altogether . . . can I introduce you to a MAP search asssist . . as follows . . .
( it contains both Gaelic and English ) . . but it does pinpoint . . the many parishes with the same name . .
In the 'search' area . . just insert i.e. Gortagarry . . and/or . . Ballycahill . . or whatever . . and it will give you a very concise breakdown of Parishes . . Townlands . . . and their meaning etc. ( good luck with that !! )

Maybe now . . with your new input to Patrick Lanigan . . you are getting closer and closer to the homestead

I went back to " Tithes Applotment " ( 1823 -1837) . . with your new info. . . . but . . .
there are too many Lanigan;s (60) listed . . . in all the differing townlands . . . none with reference to Gortagarry . . .
but yes . . lots of Templemore.

Then I searched on " Roots ". . . and found a marriage in 1850 . . between
Patrick Lanigan and Anne Moylan . . in Loughmore N.Tipp. ( in close proximity to the above areas) . . .could be that Loughmore was the Church . . . or . . she was from Loughmore. There is no additional info. Parents / witness etc.
