Myvalley in Carlow - ever heard of it?

    Can any locate a place called Myvalley in Borris in Co Carlow?


    (Online) baptism certs clearly have my GGradfather born there is 1856. The transcription and the original seem pretty clear that the place is Myvalley, (possibly Myrally?) in parish of Borris in Co Carlow.

    I've tried swilson.info searching with places starting with My and generally looking on Google Maps. I don't think its MoyValley, as Borris is to the south.

    Any tips or ideas gratefully accepted with thanks

    Moyvalley townland Co. Carlow is in Kiltennel civil parish, so one of those covered by Borris Catholic parish at the time. Moyvalley townland is just over 8km to the east of the town of Borris - see google map.
