Derrysomething Rossorry
« on: Tuesday 02 April 13 23:23 BST (UK) »
If this works, I'll send the whole page for comparison.  I'm looking for an interpretation of the "Derrysomething" that precedes "Rossory".
Thanks

Crossing my fingers.  Getting the size right is a real chore...

My second post was useless.  Have to bring up the size quite a bit.

Thank you Sami.  I never thought of it as two words.  Now I have to make sense of James Maguire^Derry from Rossory.  Have to check Sean Ruad and see if there's a Rossory townland in Derry.

Meantime I'll try to resize the second post.

Cheers

24 Nov 1820 married by license, Tho(mas) Maguire ([inserted} , Derry from Roserry,) to Lilly Ballinson of Clif?


Rossorry Parish Church, Enniskillen, Derry. Ireland

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

The word that starts Derry... looks like it might be Derrydoon although it's in Galloon parish (Co. Fermanagh) rather than Rossory. Rossory is in Co. Fermanagh rather than Co. Derry/Londonderry. Carlm, which parish is this marriage from and do you know the bride's address? Her name is Lucy Patterson is it?

I think sami and dobfarm have nailed it.  For which I am very grateful. My own first guess was also Derrydoon, (thank you Sonas) and I was having trouble making sense of it.
There is a townland named Derry (present parish of Kinawley) close enough to the Old Rossorry Graveyard that it might have been in the parish of Rossorry in the early 1800's.
Thomas Maguire married Lucy Patterson Nov. 24, 1820 in the Cornagee C of I, now the Mullaghdun parish church in the parish of Cleenish.  Lucy is shown from the nearby townland of Cleggan.
My current thinking is that Thomas had lived in Derry tl and attended Rossorry parish church, or that the minister or clerk inserted "Derry from Rossorry" to distinguish Derry the townland from Derry the county or the city.
Thomas was born about 1782.  The search continues...
