"The Index of Surnames Co Mayo was consulted in regard to the surname Philbin (Filburne) in the area of Castlebar. This index, there is one for each county, is based upon the Church Tithe/Tax Applotment survey ca. 1824/34 and Griffith's Primary Valuation of Land and Tenements, a survey taken for taxation reasons ca. 1850's

The surname was common for the parish and area of Castlebar. Griffith's Primary Valuation Co. Mayo was checked for Aglish Parish and its surrounding parishes and one Francis Philbin (sic) household was traced.

Patrick Philbin of Kilhale      "      "      "                        L3.9.0

                                                      l0.7.0

Islandeady Church records date from 1839. They were checked from that date and a brother, James, was noted for Patrick in 1841 and a sister in 1844. We can only assume that Patrick was probably born pre 1839 (the norm was for the person sought nearly always to be older rather than younger than was believed).

Islandeady R.C. Parish Register
Baptisms:       1839-1846
October 13, 1841      James of Frank Philbin, Brig. Gibbons of *Cloyan,
            Sp Pat and Brig. Kelly.

October 30, 1844      Anne of above couple, of *Cloyan,
            Sp Jas. & Nancy Gibbons.

This address, Cloyan, actually differed to the one where the Francis Philbin household was found ca. 1855, in Griffith's Valuation. This source was then rechecked for Islandeady Parish.

Islandeady Parish 1855/56

No address Cloyan listed for the parish. There was a Townland named Claggan with only one householder, a Matthew Gibbons, who was a prosperous farmer with a valuation of L75.0.0. Gibbons was too common a surname in this area to cite this as a coincidence. The address certainly seemed to read "Cloyan" rather than "Clagan". It could be what is termed an "unofficial" placename which did not appear in Official Records."
