In 1837, Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland described Kilcolmanbane like this:
KILCOLEMANBANE, a parish, partly in the barony of CULLINAGH, but chiefly in that of MARYBOROUGH EAST, QUEEN'S county, and province of LEINSTER, 2 ½ miles (S. S. E.) from Maryborough, on the road from that place to Ballinakill; containing 1223 inhabitants. It is a rectory and vicarage, in the. diocese of Leighlin, and forms part of the union of Maryborough: the tithes amount to £160. In the R. C. divisions also it is part of the union or district of Maryborough. About 35 children are educated in a public, and 55 in a private, school.
