Decyphering address in Dublin

[Mrs Dalloway]

Yes Shane. The Birth colum just says Portrane and the date.

I think I may have found a record for the birth of a sibling, living at Donabate in Swords...

is this from a birth cert for a James Milligan in 1864?

unfortunately there's no sign of any Milligan entries in the area on Griffth's, which might have helped with the location

... agreed ... especially when you remove the +

ooops!  rather a feeble effort on my part . . .

I agree with Anne for the first name, and I think the swirl overlapping Portrane is from the line below.

Mike.

[Mrs Dalloway]

Yes Shane, James Milligan (or Mulligan).  Up until now I thought the family were from Dublin City - his younger siblings were born there... but now it appears that he and a sister were born in North County Dublin.
Thanks Mike - all efforts are most welcome.  I just am glad to learn that Anne was a house keeper... and not some kind of warden in a workhouse/mental institution... that would be sad to hear.

going slightly off the original topic - another possible child of David and Bridget in South Dublin :

 name:   David Milligan
 Birth date: 14 Dec 1871
 Birthplace: 697, No 3 South City, City Of Dublin
 Father's name:   David Milligan
 Mother's name:   Bridget Henegan



Shane

[Mrs Dalloway]

Yes Shane - He's a sibling.  He apparently went to war and never came home.  But we never knew about James.

I cant make out that middle line at all... I've checked townlands etc near Portrane and cant see anything that seems to fit.

The first letter looks a bit like a H, or maybe  Fl, but the extra swirls this registrar adds makes it difficult to see what he meant.

The only townlands in the Swords sub-distrct that begin with H are - Hilltown and Hollybank, and there's none beginning with 'Fl'

Is there any other section of the cert that looks similar to this ?



Shane

Could the informant be Janet rather than Harriet?

[Mrs Dalloway]

Bingo Shane - the Date reads Twenty first and the 'T' of the twenty is the same what we thought was a 'H'...  So it is a place beginning with a T...  maybe a 'TL.. or a 'The... ??

Hi Veeblevort, thanks for your suggestion. I think the 't' you are looking at in the name 'Janet' is actual the X from 'Marks her Name' above.
