Where is Emdale please?
« on: Friday 13 March 20 14:26 GMT (UK) »
I have been looking at the marriage of Thomas Mulligan to Serah Mitchell on 8 January 1859 in Ryans Meeting House, Newry.

The groom's residence looks like Emdale but I have been unable to find this using the place name search at https://www.swilson.info/placesrch.php or anywhere else so far.

Does anyone happen to know whether this is indeed Emdale, and where it is or was?

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Possibly name of house?

Thank you, I had seen the image.

And thank you very much for the link to the map, which suggests that it may be a variant spelling of Imdal.

Yes, exactly where I said it was in reply #2 six days ago.
