Looking for some help I have managed to find a birth cert but I cannot read it. Help would be appreciated.
I’m dyslexic and struggle with these things at the best of times never mind when the wrighting is like this ... it’s the bottom entry for Charles Malloy I’m looking at
-
I usually get these things wrong but I will have a try.
14th November, 1867.
Charles Mulloy. Father Barney Mulloy, Carpenter, Dumnaskia.
Mother. Mary Mulloy, formerly Gallagher.
7th column says The mark of Barney Mulloy, father, Dumnaskia
Hopefully someone who is better at this will come along soon.

Yes I was getting pretty much the same
I have them listed as Malloy wondering if the name changed from Mulloy to Malloy or if we just reading it wrong ....
-
It could be that a) the person taking the details wrote it how they heard it
b) spellings were much more fluid than nowadays
c) I've misread the writing
-
I agree with Mulloy and it is as pet50ite says -
a) the person taking the details wrote it how they heard it
b) spellings were much more fluid than nowadays

Cant read the town name clearly. However the registrar has signed it as being District of MALIN in the union of INISHOWEN, county of DONEGAL. Date 31 Jan 1868. Someone familiar withthe area might be able to provide the name of the place . Regards Orkrad

I think it might be Drumnaskea.

From townlands.ie, it is spelt as Dumnaskea. In Clonca Civil Parish. North of the village of Malin.
