What I need is the location of where these towns would be found on a
map, at this period of time.( What towns/cities would these be near) >>

Pat,

We have a Knockmanagh in Kilmeen civil parish (I don't believe there is/was a
Kanturk civil parish), on your map 72 at 282 046. It's a bit south of the
Owenkeal River and is about 3 miles SW of Newmarket. (If you think it might
be Knocknanagh you're looking for, there are East and West versions of it at
225 058 and 215 056). There is an old "burial ground" shown on the map just
east of Knockmanagh at 289 048, but no current nearby churches.

I'm afraid that Knockagolig snuck across the map border to # 73 while you
weren't looking. It's at 424 107, in Kilbrin civil parish, and is about 2
miles nearly SW of Liscarroll. I don't see any nearby cemeteries or church
on this map closer than Liscarroll.
