does anyone know this placename

Hi,
This was transcribed wrongly in Ancestry. Can anyone tell me what it is please.

Thanks Carolyn

First choice  --  Ballylangley (sub. ie at end) with lower part of 'g' feint in ink or missing.  Co.Cork.

Second choice  - Ballybailie, Co.Louth --the dot of the first 'i' being very low.

I'm sure you will get other possibilities    Something perhaps more obvious, but at the moment I can't see anything.

I don't think Ballylangley as there is no indication of any part of a lower loop for the "g." Ballybailie seems more likely. The final three letters seem to be "lie" or "lis," there must be a letter after the "i" as there would be no Irish placenames ending in "i."

It would be good to compare this to other handwriting samples by the same person, to see how they formed the letters b, l, h and k elsewhere.

If I wasn't trying to figure this out and match it to actual placenames, I would think it reads Ballybrolis, but there is no such place.

The first thing I thought of was - Ballyhoolie = Ballyhooly

Not sure if this helps, but if you check the distribution of the surnames Noon and Noone at http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/ they were most common in counties Galway, Mayo and Roscommon.
