Help with reading address
« on: Sunday 15 April 18 06:51 BST (UK) »
Attached image is a clip from Mountjoy Prison Register 1923. The man was on bail for non payment of wife's maintenance arrears. The other records I have place them in Dublin City (North).

The image is blurred but I can make most of it out but am struggling with the address in the Next of Kin column.



I can make out Wife, Margaret 3 ? Place, Bally? ?
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks

Boo

Thanks for taking the time to look, it could well be Ballybough (and that's way better than my first glance interpretation of Ballybongle!)

I can't decide if the character after 3 is a 2 or a capital letter, the following character seems to be lower case and its a very short word  maybe only 5 characters. So far I am trying to make something out of
3 (2/capital), *, (l?), *, *,   Place.

I think its going to end up on the long list of things I may never know :-)

I wondered if after 3 it was 2 as well but discounted this as the first letter of the place would start with a capital and other letters didn't look like capitals.     

I wonder if the first letter was F or T :-\

Pity you've blown it up so much as to make everything fuzzy

I didn't enlarge it, that is the actual image size as I downloaded it from FindMyPast, all I did was to take a screen clip.

As I said in the original post, the 'image' is blurred.

Do you want to give a name? Perhaps looking at the record might help re letter formation comparison.  :)

I apologise if I didn't do it correctly, I am not a graphics expert.
 The best I can do is reproduce the image as supplied - just as it is served up from the site, in the hope that anyone who is willing to view it and offer an opinion will zoom in/out to suit their particular screen size/resolution. Just as they would do with an image from FindMyPast.
