Hard to be sure with so little of the writing to compare but looks like _ _ _agh. Lots of townlands in Co. Tyrone end in 'agh':
Annagh (2), Attagh, Ballagh (2), Beragh (2), Envagh, Feragh, Laragh (2), Lenagh, Moyagh, Omagh are the ones I found using www.seanruad.com (be sure to change default setting from exact match).
Can you give details of census page so we can look at more of the page?

I thought it could be Beragh, Brockagh, Cappagh, Coagh or (most likely??) Cranagh but I need to know for sure...
It is the 1911 census for the Wembley/Hendon area in Middlesex.
A bigger piece of the section is below
Thanks for help so far, much appreciated.

Should have said there's no townland in Co. Tyrone called Cranagh according to www.seanruad.com.

Thankyou all for your reply's.
A copy of the 1911 census including this Family, was given to me by a Family member.
Any other suggestions or handwriting experts suggestions will be gratefully received. in the meantime I'll have a look at the Sperrin Centre.
Once again Thankyou.

www.seanruad.com is based on the index to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes and Baronies of Ireland 1851. Things have changed about a bit since then.
Regards.
Tom.

I am aware of that but it is still a valuable source to find places in Ireland and as the original query was from 1911 census it was worth checking the site to find possibilites.
