Help to decipher Irish County name please
« on: Monday 13 May 13 16:08 BST (UK) »
Hi,

This is taken from 1861 census.

The place clearly states "County" but the rest is a mystery. The best I could come up with was Stratham/Heatham/Meatham/Heathlane and have gone over it 1000 times & tried all ways of finding out what it actually reads from lists of counties in Ireland but I'm at a loss.

The husband above was from Donegal if that helps as it may be around that area & my Irish geography is minus zero  ::)

Any help would be much appreciated,

Regards,

Hi macintosh,

I did say I have the Donegal bit to help as the other could be an area near there. According to what I have on census, the 1st couple of kids were born in Ireland so hoped they met close to home which in this instance would be Donegal.

Hi Teetotal,

I have been through numerous lists of names including genuki but having no knowledge of Irish places I can't convert what I think I'm seeing to what it could be if you understand my meaning. I have been trying to find this for possibly 10 yrs and the very nearest for me with names was STRABANE if that's how it's spelled? but doesn't really look like that.

It looks like 'Stratham' to me but if it's a County, where is it in Ireland 'cos I'm not seeing it listed?

I got it from ancestry. If Stratham is right and not a blunder why can I not find it anywhere as I would like to know where it is so I can search for a marriage & births. Can you tell me where that is please in distance from Donegal or where it's near?

Has it possibly been a County that was once but now amalgamated with another and possibly changed name?

It's been an ongoing thing all these yrs & now I have finally given up as I was getting nowhere.
