Mary Convery born somewhere near Newry

[Stephen K]

I have taken this image off the 1891 England Census. I see it says Newry Co. Down but I can't make out the word before it. Can anyone help please? I believe Mary came from around the Jonesborough/Newry area but I've been unable to find her anywhere. Hopefully this will help my quest.

I'd have guessed at Ireland

Hi,
   I also think that it is IRELAND.

Hi,
   You don't give Mary's age but I can find a Mary Convery born on 26 Sept 1871, registered which  in Meigh which is about 2 miles from Jonesborough. Her parents were Bernard Convery and Bridget Murphy.

Regards

I don't know Mary's dob but I think the year was about 1862. I'm not convinced the word is Ireland as I would have expected that to come at the end of the address not the start.

The first word is indeed Ireland.

[Stephen K]

I think there appears to be an s at the end of the word

[aghadowey]

Not an 's.'

It says Ireland, Newry, Co Down
