Title: Where is Emdale please?
Post by: Forfarian on Friday 13 March 20 14:26 GMT (UK)

I have been looking at the marriage of Thomas Mulligan to Serah Mitchell on 8 January 1859 in Ryans Meeting House, Newry.

The groom's residence looks like Emdale but I have been unable to find this using the place name search at https://www.swilson.info/placesrch.php or anywhere else so far.

Does anyone happen to know whether this is indeed Emdale, and where it is or was?

Thank you, I had seen the image.

And thank you very much for the link to the map, which suggests that it may be a variant spelling of Imdal.
