In Reply to: For Max - Crumlin or Ross half parish posted by Murrisk on September 23, 2001 at 22:50:40:
Murrisk you are right about that.The whole parish was Turlough for both COI and RC,co existant they called it.There were indeed two churches,originally three{Samuel Lewis Topographical Dictionary Of Mayo 1837}one in Crimlin the other in Parke.I suspect that where you did have two churches in one parish it was a natural progression to split the parish in two.I am now informed that another half parish existed inFahy and possibly Kilmeena.Interesting stuff.
