Hi,
I wonder if anyone has any suggestions as to the birthplace shown for two of my family in 1891.
On Ancestry it's been transcribed as Cownrsh but it looks like Cowrush.
It's not necessarily near Dundalk as the couple married in Birkenhead.
If anyone has any ideas at all I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Julie
The name almost certainly is written with a capital C as it matches names like Cheshire and Cleveland on the same sheet.
-
the first one looks like Conrush, the 2nd time it does look like Cowrush
the 3rd letter looks like the 'n' in Ireland
The name does not ring any bells with me - I've had a quick look at the town land database at http://thecore.com/seanruad , but nothing seems to match so far....
there is a town is North Co. Dublin called Rush - I wonder is that connected somehow
there's a Clonrush in Co. Galway.

It looks more like CONRUSH to me, or possibly COURUSH.
The closest match I can find to a townland name is CLONRUSH, which is in Galway.
-
Thank you both!
I wondered if it could be Clonrush, but wanted to see if it looked that way to anyone else. The only other idea I had was a misheard Kilrush. I do think the Galway connection may tie-in though.
Much appreciated!

Hi
could you let us know the names on the cert
-
This looks like the entry:
1891 RG12 2883 folio 12 pg 18
Thomas Toole and family
The people from 'Cowrush' are:
Ann Toole (Toohey at marriage)
Mary Duffy 80 yrs mother in law
Hugh Tuohy 42 yrs Brother in law
Are these your family?

Hello,
You could try 1911 indexes - we can't publish any information from that census but there are hints here:

Some sites show place of birth in the indexes.

The thread originally started in 2009 so perhaps if Julie has found the answer to her query she could let us know.

I hope this reaches the original poster of the message - Julie. We must be related as these people are my relatves too.
And I have had exactly the same trouble with this placename. I cannot find anywhere in Ireland with the names Courish or Courush.
I can't see an 'L' in there at all.
Was this ever resolved?

Hi Julie here - I just came back to this a couple of days ago having renewed my ancestry sub. In the 1911 census Anne Toole's birthplace is Clonrush as suspected.
Anne's daughter Mary was my great grandmother.

Julie,

Sorry - didn't explain properly! It was the question of Clonrush that I came back to after new info from Ancestry. I took a break from Ancestry for a couple of years but I've been looking in on the Rootschat Cheshire forum regularly.
I hope Deer looks in again - would love to know how we're related!
