Title: Irish Place names
Post by: Ruth_T on Saturday 20 January 24 15:09 GMT (UK)

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts for the highlighted places of birth in Ireland please ?

I think that possibly Isabella Wilson was born somewhere in County Down but that is not certain.

Many thanks.

Isabella's maiden name is Mckenzie so I don't think that is her in the prison register.  Although the birth date and place of birth seems correct.

Thank you for the place of births.  The read so clearly when someone has suggested what they could be and Dunover & Ballylimp tie in with my suspicions.

Her sister who moved to America put down St. Andrews county Down as place of birth and another part of the family is from Ballywalter, so both Dunover and Ballylimp make sense. 

Many thanks.
