Location in County Laios- SOLVED
« on: Friday 10 August 18 22:24 BST (UK) »
On a death certificate I'm working with I find a location in County Laios that I cannot find.  I believe it is spelled: Coorlanane (see attached image).  It is in a death record list from Ballickmoyler or Ballicmoyler.  I've tried Townlands.ie to no avail. Can anyone assist me with the deciphering the name or know the location?

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Might as well post this anyway, though Hallmark has covered it. There is a Coorlaghan 8 kms from Ballickmoyler. I think what you (and I) took for an "n" is really an "h". I found it at wikipedia's list of townlands by using the browser to search for the letters I was sure of, "coor".

Coorlaghan, but spelt Coorlahane - means 'wide curve'.
