Whuuh!  Thanks first of all for everyone's  input.

Just back online after waiting for the maintenance engineer to repair my fridge!!
It has been off since Friday - now I know what it is like to live without a fridge - thank goodness it has been cold here.

Well, I did have a possibility of Kilmordey - that has been searched for before - but this time I had the 1891 Census for comparison, I thought  :(

Seoras:  just re-read your post - sounds like a good idea - will try that, thanks.

Will also try the other possibilities.

Thank you all once again for you help - will see what I can come up with.

Just had a look at the website  that Dalum posted:

Could be Kilmoney, Cork .......

An Englishman "translating" an Irish town   ???

Will look into that further.

Is it Limleen 
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Hallo,

Can anybody decipher the name of the town in C.Cork, please


Thankyou

Viv

Hi Viv,

Have you tried other avenues to find this place in Ireland? like other census years, events BMD in Ireland of a birth or UK GRO marriage of the person. Cork Library maybe worth phoning for general advice or post more details of person involved on here! some obscure bit of info that seem nothing too you! may mean something to someone else to identify the location in Ireland.

Well thats my 6 pen-ath.!  :)

Viv,

Can I repeat something somebody asked earlier - if this is a census form can you give the census reference? It could be useful to see more of the handwriting.
