Mary Butler was born in Craggaknock, County Clare, in 1865 of parents John BUTLER and Mary FITZPATRICK. Mary was my great grandmother's (Margaret BUTLER) sister.
Craggaknock seems to be a townland rather than an actual town. It is located just outside of Creegh, not too far from Kilmihil. It's a beautiful area with some views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Here are a few pictures of the area around Craggaknock. I made a special effort to photograph any old houses in the area.
The only definite sign, apart from the GPS, that I was in Craggaknock was the sign for this B&B.
Perhaps the BUTLERS lived in one of these old houses long ago?
Next step on my County Clare journey:
Don't you sometimes wish there were signs for townlands?
