Kilnamarbvek ???
« on: Monday 25 July 05 18:53 UTC (UK) »
Great-Great Grandfather Michael Hayes was born in Limerick sometime between 1819 and 1829 (all dates from UK census lsitings).
1891 UK census shows his place of birth as "Kilnamarbvek" - or at least this is how Ancestry transcribes it - and I confess I can't make any better atttempt at transcription from looking at the original image.
So - obviously a "misprint" or mistranscription but I wonder if any Limerick experts could hazard a better guess at the actual village name ? Huh

It sure looks unusual!!!!   However, here is a listing of Townlands in Limerick beginning with "Kil" . This is from Sean Ruad's (RIP) wonderful work on Irish townlands. Take a look and see if any make sense to you.

Good luck,

I am reading it as "Kilnamalock" which I think is just mispelling for Kilmallock here is some more about that parish:
