The following information was acquired from the CD book Slater's Commercial Directory of Ireland, 1846. It is part of the Trinity college of Dublin Library Collection. This CD ROM is available through Archive CD Books Ireland and is part of their Archive CD Books Project. This CD Book covers many of the Major Townlands of Ireland. Each Townland listed has a brief description of its attributes, a listing of the Nobility, Gentry and Clergy, Major Public Office Holders, Schools, Churches, Professionals, Trades, Hotels, Post Offices, Available Coach Routes, Public Institutions and a variety of other miscellaneous information.
The Towns in County Mayo that are covered in this Book CD are Ballina, Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Claremorris, Killala, Newport, Swineford and Westport.
The surname Corcoran was documented in the Townlands of Ballina and Killala. Of note as far as my Irish research goes, Mathew Coffey was present in Ballina as well.
