Help - I am stuck!
« on: Monday 21 November 22 16:47 GMT (UK) »
Hi All. Trying to work out what is written here against Margaeret Devoy - i HAD REDUCED TO EITHER 'Tailoress' or maybe 'Jailoress'....but neither seem to fit what i was expecting.

Tailoress - compare the 'T' in her husband's address, Turner Street.

I'll agree with "Tailoress".

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

Can you use your skills and decipher what it says below Mary Jane Devoy under the date?

Looks like "arkean, Down, Ireland." Presumably Ardkeen in County Down?
