    Not sure but I went on a random Internet search and found this site. Scrool down to find a huge list of town lands listed alphabetically. Might help, but hopefully someone will give a more helpful answer than this for you.

    Thank you JP, much appreciated. I did try that site but nothing suitable in there.
    Thank you for trying.
    Kind regards.

    Is it Corristoona? Have you any further information that might help identify it?

    Thank you Liolliopop. Corristoona sounds good!
    This man died in 1921, and I cannot find him in any Census 1901. No clues as to where he was born but he was buried in deans Grange Cemetery. I tried online to see if there was an image of his headstone without success.

    Go onto the regional section on here and ask someone around deans grange to walk the cemetery if they are near it and see can they find the headstone and send you a picture.

    You'd want a pretty good map?

    Thank you everyone, great ideas altogether. I would never have found Corrastoona without Lollipops suggestion. It is a hard place to find. They are listed in the 1901 Census but not in 1911 for some reason.

    Thank you all again for all your help.
    Kind regards.

    If you have a name and date of death ( even approx) the cemetery office staff should be able to pinpoint the grave location

    I've lots of relatives buried there. It's a massive cemetery. You'd need to know where you were looking.

    Though it sounds like the staff could pinpoint it from an above post.
