Viv,

Are you sure it is the name of a town in Co. Cork ? I have searched "Towns in  County Cork"
on google and nothing like your name emerges, Could it be a surname because the first two letters look like "Mr"

James

... I did the same a few hours back James, couldn't find anything in that huge list resembling the layout of letters and wondered the same as you ... tried it as Mount and there isn't really anything, ignoring that I wasn't sure if next capital letter was I or T ... nothing under Inch****** that fitted and couldn't make it work with a T either.

Hi

Although I can't decipher all of it - I read it as

Nr.  ?imlam? @ Cork Ireland

Nr = near
@ = at

The second question mark really looks like a "p" so possibly

Near ?imlamp at Cork, Ireland

Hi Viv,like James and Mare I google earthed all over Cork for ages looking for names of towns,villages and mountains and couldn't come up with anything.Have you posted it on the notice board for Cork,someone there may know.

I think there is a 'dash' between the place name and 'C.Cork' like the one between Cork and Ireland. So I think the name may end in 'y'.  ___larry?

edit
or __lany

I agree with a possible ..larry. The capital letter after the possible 'Nr' could be T or even F.

Are there any more small sections of the same page with any capitals you can upload to help? Or the census reference so that we can see the whole page?

Another thought is that the place name is not used any more.

Certainly in Scotland there are place names on old maps which you cannot find on modern ones - the name has gone out of use. This may be the case with this Cork placename.
