Hi, Boyd:

Thank you very much for this information. I love those GV maps at askireland.ie :-)

Until I looked at these more carefully a few weeks ago, it hadn't really sunk in that the parish of TO'C runs along the western boundary of the parish of Kilrea. As a result, I am studying the church records online for that parish on Richard's BV web site ... where I have found a couple of Kilpatrick families in Drumane/Drumean townland. These are almost certainly related to the Kilpatricks in Lislea townland, but alas, the records don't go back *quite* far enough to tell me how.

Cheers,

Alison
