Is there a place called Drumoch?
« on: Monday 26 October 09 07:02 UTC (UK) »
I received a birth certificate today for one Bridget Sullivan born in Lochinvar New South Wales on 25 May 1866. However, I am puzzled over her father's place of birth. His name was Patrick Sullivan born in 1809 in Drumoch County Cork Ireland.

I am having trouble finding further information on Drumoch. Can anyone help me please? Huh

Is it definitely Drumoch? for I can find neither a Civil Parish or a townland bearing that name.

Hi John,
That is the spelling. It's a mystery isn't it!

There were many Sullivan's from the Civil Parish of Kilcaskan, Co. Cork with the location as Drumlave.

I know this is not the same, however there are not many names commencing with Drum.

There was a Denis Sullivan from the C.Parish of Abbeystrowry in the townland of Drummig. With an accent maybe it could sound like Drummoch. Otherwise I am at a loss.

Very likely to be DROMAGH in NW of county,near the town of Millstreet.If you google Dromagh parish you will get more info.The parish is in county Cork,but is in the Catholic diocese of Kerry.The name Sullivan/O'Sullivan is widespread in the area.

Yes, I have found that Aus birth and death certs that give info on towns or parishes back in Ireland tend to be somewhat literal in the transcription.

The Irish immigrants in Aus were usually illiterate themselves and many had no idea how to spell their home parish

Unless you get a better offer, and I doubt it, I would go with "Dromagh" whose pronunciation to an Australian Registrar or Clergyman would be similar to "Drumoch "
