Millanneenbeg "Shayley" 1815

[mgallery]

Can anyone track down this placename for me ? I have tried the obvious Clare library website options. I think it is in the Dysert Corofin or general Burren area (most likely) I have nothing else to tie it down. I am looking for the modern day townland and parish

Millanneenbeg "Shayley" 1815

If no one writes in with a better guess, consider whether the letter "M" was actually "K" and the take a look at Killeenan. That location is near Shallee which might be your Shayley. Since there was a Shallee quarry, I believe it is the ugly gray feature labelled on a current map as Ballybrody. All these locations are in Dysert parish, about 8 miles w-nw of Ennis and also close to Corofin.

Note also that the Griffiths Valuation has a similar placename of Mollaneen, which must be near Carhoo, judging from the listing there for Michael Cahir.

I am currently researching a McMahon family of Soheen, with a history that has included the Michael Cahir family (likely the same one for which the NAI will index shows Michael of Licknaun with an 1878 death date). Thus I have this material readily at hand. Glad that it might be of additional assistance to someone.

Thanks yes I think its Mollaneen Dysert and Shalloo (its definitely an M its from a deed) which Donal de Bharra from OAC also suggested

Hurrah I had to find about 30 placenames not all obvious.

btw Shallee is in Kilnamona it is most likely that unless you are sure about the Quarry being Shallee now labelled Ballybrody
