There is a townland of Gortnagross in the parish of Ballyvourney. It is
151 acres and is in the Macroom Poor Law Union in the barony of West
Muskerry in the West Riding of Co. Cork.

There are also two townlands named Gortnagross in the Mallow Poor Law
Union. Both are in the barony of Duhallow in the East Riding of Co. Cork.
One is 55 acres in the parish of Mallow and the other is 962 acres in the
parish of Ballyclogh.

See http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlmahs/mherit.htm for information on the
Mallow Heritage Centre which has Roman Catholic parish records for
Ballyvourney on computer, baptisms 1810-1895 and marriages 1871-1895,
Ballyclough baptisms 1807-1896, marriages 1805-1896 plus some Church of
