The primary valuation of Ireland or Griffith's Valuation - carried out between 1848 and 1864 to determine liability to pay the Poor rate (for the support of the poor and destitute within each Poor Law Union) - provides detailed information on where people lived in mid-nineteenth century Ireland and the property they possessed. A Patrick CONNOLLY appears in the Lisnagroob section.

The Clooncalgy Beg entry lists Patrick CONNOLLY once and he appears four times in Clooncalgy More. A John CONNOLLY appears twice at the bottom of the Clooncalgy More entry. Could this be Patrick's brother? Clooncalgy More lies approximately 3 miles east of Lisnagroob.
