I searched through the site here and didn't find much on this subject so I thought I would ask. I'm searching for my wife's family tartan from Ireland. I don't know how many of you have tried to search for an irish tartan, but it isn't easy. What I run into is some sites list her family's name and others do not. Some list tartans as either national tartans or county tartans. So I have become confused as to what my wife should have? I want it to be as accurate as possible, but what am I to believe is correct?
Here is what I know of her family, help me if you can.
Maiden name: Bowling
Three sites list Bowling as an Irish tartan, but I was under the impression this was an English name. I also cant seem to find a picture of this tartan
Family Name: O'Connell or O'Conail
Again some sites list O'Connell as the tartan, while other list O'Conail
County: Kerry
This is the only tartan I have been able to find that is consistant across the board.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
