Message Board Post:

I have an address - Killaree, Three Castles, County Kilkenny, Ireland. I know the obvious: Ireland is the country and Kilkenny is the county. I also know that Three Castles is Odogh. Now for what I don't know.

Would the above address be in the Barony of Cranagh?
Is Killaree a townland or a parish?
Is Odagh a townland or a parish?
When reading an address like the one above what is the order? Town, Parish, Barony, etc.

One more: I have a photo of a memorial stone that reads Knockbrack, Tralee and on the back of the photo it says Cork but I can only find Tralee in Kerry. Where is it?

Also what does Knockbrack mean? There seems to be one in every county?

Help!
