my gt gt grandmother margaret ann cowley
was born at ballakilleyclue in kirk michael c 1835 she had a sister catherine who married william quiggin in 1861
i have found a reference on family search which takes williams family back to 1655 all the time living at shaughlaige
i have lots of variations on the spelling eg shalghage shough-lague

according to censuses catherine was living there from 1861 to 1899 when she died
as far as know they didn't have any children
can any one tell me what might have happened to the farm
it seems such a shame for it not to have been kept in the family after such a long time
also does anyone know where this place is
