« on: Sunday 29 June 14 23:07 BST (UK) »
Could someone please help me identify the place in Ireland. It looks like Stravre, but there doesnt seem to be a place called that

I can only think of Strabane but can't see a B. Can't be Stranraer anyway, that being in Scotland.

Well it's definitely stra something. It's my first Irish ancestor so I'm quite eager to find out where this is!

Looking at the link you sent Sinnan, I thought perhaps Strake?
