Kilrea decipher.
« on: Sunday 10 June 18 16:37 BST (UK) »
I have a Church Campbell who signed the covenant with his brother Wiliam care of ????? Kilrea.
No one in to do a link to Proni, so was hoping someone with local knowledge would have a look as I cannot find a place name that  I could identify with the place name that both brothers gave. Hope that makes sense.Thank you.

I'm seeing 'C of Derry' meaning County of Derry.

Well, he certainly made a hash of that!

"Dulechie, Kilrae C[ounty] of Derry" which should be Dullaghy townland near Kilrea!

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
