Title: DED for Gortyarn
Post by: mhac on Wednesday 03 September 25 22:04 BST (UK)
I am trying to find the 1901 census for an area in Carndonagh parish called Gortyarn.
I have been unable to find the DED for this area and I am hoping somebody familiar with the area can help.

I dont think Gortyarn is a townland, it seems to have been a small village as part of Tullanree townland, so look for that instead.

Tullanree is in Donagh civil parish.

The placename database refers to Gortyarn as a sub-townland : https://www.logainm.ie/en/1419894

Thank you, that probably explains why I could not find it
