Help deciphering an Irish placename
« on: Sunday 15 June 14 02:56 BST (UK) »
My ancestor Jeremiah FARRELL was born in Ireland, but married, in Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1829, Ann MUIR. Their 6th son, Hugh, was born in Scotland on 7/1/1855. This birth is the only record I have found of Jeremiah's place of origin, but I can't read it.

Wow, this is a difficult one.

If it had been a place near Glasgow - I would have had an immediate shot at "Bellshill"... but it is Ireland.  There seems to be a "B" at start and two "ll's" in middle ???  And it doesn't say "Co" for County, so  is it a town name??
Good luck!

I should have said, that is the second line I am talking about.  On first line (Name of street? ) are the first two letters actually numbers, 46???  hmmmm.... Very difficult.

In the first picture, the top line says "46 years" (Jeremiah's age). The second word on the second line is "Ireland".

Now why couldn't I see the word "years" lol.  Just goes to show how many eyes make ?light work?  And of course the last word is "Ireland".  So the main word  is still the problem..  Again - good luck with it John.

Think the first part of the word before Ireland could be Ballan...

The letter after the "B", though, doesn't look the same as that after the "LL". And then there appears to be an "H", very similar to the last letter of Jeremiah's name, in the larger view, 3rd after the "LL".

Just another "stab in the dark".  Could it be "Ballinakill" which is in County Laois?
