Help in deciphering the place name, please

[justmej]

Have not read back through, so not sure if anyone has already suggested this, but my first thoughts were that the name ends with ...barry.

Wonder it the first 'squiggle' is something like Nr for near?

There is a similar mark, but without the interference, on page 8 of the e.d. (9 lines from the bottom, added in front of 'Usk')

I think that it is 'Nr'

... I was tending to agree with your post #6 yesterday Dalum re a dash after the downward stroke ... I had of course Timoleague down as a possibility as well seeing as there were so few on the list beginning with Tim ...and there could be a very squashed O, still have some difficulty seeing eague though!

and I would go along with Nr

This is on the tenuous side  ....

The suggestion has been made that the 'Kilmordey' in an earlier census might be Kilmoney.

Looking at the page for Kilmoney on the IrishTimes site and particularly the 'adjoining parish' list I see 'Liscleary'.

The repost of the 1891 snippet above allows me to see for the first time (with the eye of faith) that the first letter of that name could be a 'K'.

Could the name be a mishearing of Liscleary as 'Kiscleary' or 'Kisclarry'?

Googling Liscleary I found this site with a tithe 'applotment' for the parish in 1835. This includes a man called Jeremiah Donovan.

How common might the name Jeremiah Donovan be? The family that moved to Wales had a son Jeremiah listed in the 1871 census.

We'll all end up at Timbuctoo before we finish this thread-I'm off to bed before I start doing an Irish Jig.

Good night all.

I would again  like to thank everyone for helping me try to find the name of the place.  I really do appreciate it.

I will try the various places mentioned and look at the websites that Dobfarm has posted.

Thanks once again.

Hi there,

I think the first letter is Hr, as in Higher T.......

Hi - Think the first two letters may be Gr ( Great or Greater). Next definitely  starts with T - I make it Ti r n lamp, p in copperplate is usually open with a flick on the tail. agree it was probably a phonetic rendering of a local accent.
 hope you find it. T
