Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help to decipher Irish County name please
« on: Monday 13 May 13 21:05 BST (UK)  »

Hi,

This is taken from 1861 census.

The place clearly states "County" but the rest is a mystery. The best I could come up with was Stratham/Heatham/Meatham/Heathlane and have gone over it 1000 times & tried all ways of finding out what it actually reads from lists of counties in Ireland but I'm at a loss.

The husband above was from Donegal if that helps as it may be around that area & my Irish geography is minus zero  ::)

Any help would be much appreciated,

Regards,

A. M.

To me, looks like County Monaghan.

Ireland / Re: electoral process in ireland
« on: Saturday 05 January 13 16:56 GMT (UK)  »
In 1922, all women in Ireland (the Republic) aged over 21 had the right to vote.
Some electoral registers are available - search for Dublin City's Pearse Street library and you can see the records for Dublin 1939/40 online.

Ireland / Re: Donovan Mss
« on: Tuesday 19 July 11 19:26 BST (UK)  »
I looked online at the national archives website - searching yielded 310 matches of documents with "donovan" in them - perhaps you can narrow these down online before checking further?
