Hi Elaine

If you could yeah that be great

I was thinking if its not too much trouble, if you could post it in here, (the GALLACHER posting)
and also create a new one and call it something like

Porterstown, Jordanstown, Torrenstown in Donegal - Does anyone know of these ?

or something like that

Thanks a lot,

Cheers,
Warren

Looks like Porterstown but there no townland in Donegal with that name that I can find. There are 5 Porterstowns in Ireland in other counties.
See www.seanruad.com to search for townlands in Ireland. Be sure to change default setting from exact match. I searched for townlands in Co. Donegal ending in 'town' with nothing coming close and then townlands in all Ireland ending in 'terstown.'
Other possibility is that the place is Porterstown in Co. Donegal but that it's the local name for an ear rather than a townland name.

Elaine

I recently received an identical enquiry about deciphering "Porterstown, Co Donegal".

I concluded that as there are extremely few townland-names in Co Donegal ending in -town, this was probably a mishearing by the Scottish registrar. I suggested that possibly one should consider that Portnason was intended.

Portnason is on the southern shore of the Erne estuary, just W of Ballyshannon.
