Place name Co Leitrim

[Beavances]

Hi  I have attached a extract showing a birth place in Ireland - I think this is Drumkeeran and wonder if others would agree?
I am hoping to visit Ireland soon and intend to visit Drumkeeran ( if others think this is the likely place!). I wonder if there is anywhere where I may be able to find a baptism record for Mary born there in 1847?
I also have details of Mary's  marriage, (1871 In Selkirk, Scotland)  which shows her parents as Phelan McPartlan and Agnes Neillan.  Would there still be any records available of their marriage?

Where is the extract from please?

Is it from a census, if so which one pl?

On the 1834 Tithe Applotment on FS there is a record for Phelin McPartland and also an Andrew McPartland in Co Leitrim. Inishmagrath but there may be other townlands

Griffiths Valuation 1857 shows about 80 apx Mc Partland Names

It says 1921 in the attachment name.
Looks like 1921 census - E/W?

Difficult to guess the placename - it's all smudged

Thankyou for your replies. Kiltglassan you are correct this extract for Mary Brannen ( Nee McPartlan) is from the 1921 English census. This is the only record I can find where she notes the name of her birthplace but in every census I have found her - (the first being in 1871 around the same time she marries)  she notes that she was born in Ireland. I have not found her on the 1861 or 1851.

Shanreagh the attachments you have included are all new information to me. I've not worked with Griffiths Valuations before and will go through these today. Much appreciated.

If the location is Drumkeeran (and I am not certain that it is), be aware there are 3 such places in Co. Leitrim. There is the town in the parish of Inishmagrath but also 2 townlands in the parishes of Annaduff and Kiltoghert. You can find them all on Griffiths.

[Beavances]

Ah ! I hadn't realised that - thankyou.

Like Elwyn I am not certain that the townland is Drumkeeran.  Perhaps you could ask for ideas from the Handwriting section of Rootschat. There are some real handwriting experts there who may be able to see beyond the ink pen!

In the meantime have you tracked siblings and all the children of Mary Branne/an to see where they say they lived? Some of them may have had a better ink pen!

[Beavances]

That is a good idea to ask for help about the place name on the handwriting board - I will do that.

As for the names of Mary's children, I have traced them all. Following Marys marriage in Scotland all her children were born in either Scotland of England. Mary's  marriage is the earliest document I have with her name and age. I know that Mary was Irish but this is the only census record I have found where she names her birthplace.  I've never been able to trace her siblings or parents although I have parents names from her marriage certificate.
