Title: Help with spellings and locations in Cork (or maybe Kerry)
Post by: pteverett001 on Sunday 23 February 14 19:04 GMT (UK)
I am struggling to make any sense of the locations mentioned on this census record (my Great Grandmother and family) listed as the Twomey's. If anyone can help read or locate the placenames shown as the birthplaces of Margaret and Mary Twomey it would be much appreciated.

A snip for those who don't have access - the ones marked in red are the ? ones.

I think the placenames have suffering in translation as it were.

Banadoun? = Bandon (the name of a town & Poor Law Union/Registration District in Cork)

Donaughmore = Donaghmore (the name of a townland and parish in Cork)

Ok thanks for that, they were already in London by the time of the 1851 census so unfortunately the Irish ones won't be much help other than finding other members of the extended family, but its a fairly common name so thats going to be a challenge!

Cheers
