Gurragurragh, Garrigerry
Gurragurragh -- 'I request your opinion as to how the above names ought to be engravad' (T. Mooney, 1844); 'As it stands' (OD); '.. has been altered to Garrigery at the instance of the Rev. J. O'Kane P.P. of the Parish, which do you think correct?' (Capt. Cameron); I wish the Rev. J. O'Kane would tell us the meaning of the name. I could form no idea of its correctness without hearing it pronounced. It must be engraved Garragerragh on his authority' (OD); Garrigery -- "something rough". 'The above meaning has been written by Rev. J. O'Kane P.P. Will you have the goodness to inform me whether Mr. O'Kane has written authority for the first spelling of this name ...?' (G. A. Leach, 1846)
