Kilcurrn [Kilcurran] or Kilcurrie?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thanks aghadowey,
I'm glad that you feel that it's K-i-l-c-u-r-r.  I think the last letter is an 'n', so Kilcurrn (Kilurran)  I need to do some more comparisons with the handwriting, but your opinion has helped a lot  :)

There's a Kilcurriv Eighter & Kilcurrivard in Co. Galway (both Cummer Parish, Tuam Poor Law Union).

Thanks for all of your opinions they're all going into the melting pot.  It's going to take some time but I'm sure I'll find the baptism  :)

Do you think it's Kilcurriv Sinann?  I see an 'N' not a 'V' on the end.
