Jeannette,
This might help in understanding the parish you are interested in. This
is a quote from Limerick Archives. " Kilbroderan, a parish, in the shanid
Division of the barony of the lower Connello, county of Limerick, and
province of Munster, 4 miles (n.w.) from Rathkeale, on the road to
Shahagolden; containing 829 inhabitants. This parish is situated on the
western bank of the river Deel, over which is a good bridge, called
Newbridge, built in 1747, when the road was first constructed..........." I
have a map of Ireland and there is a town/hamlet call Newbridge north of
Rathkeale. The roman catholic parish in that area was Kilcolman/Coolcappagh
also refered to as Coolcappa.
