Deciphering Kenmare Location
« on: Monday 24 February 25 21:43 GMT (UK) »
Could anyone help decipher this location on an 1892 death record? The header says the deaths were in the district of Tuoist and in the union of Kenmare. I'm 90% sure the first few letters are Gort- but the rest of the word doesn't match up with any locations near Tuoist or Kenmare.

I was going to suggest the same place.
The civil parish of Kilcaskan is right next to Tuoist so would be the same sub-registration district.

Htempleton22 - as you can see from above, the spelling of a lot of place names regularly changes, so is not set in stone. Spelling for the area I live in has changed many times too.
