Title: Honeyjail Town - where was this missing townland?
Post by: Simon1a9 on Saturday 30 March 24 22:10 GMT (UK)

The 1901 census includes a townland of "Honeyjail Town": https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/.../Honeyjail_Town/

But in the 1911 census the townland no longer exists: https://bmdnotices.com/ElectoralArea/Townlands.aspx?ReferenceId=2894&CountryId=1&CountyId=24

Honeyjail Town is clearly somewhere inside Cullenwaine DED, and probably close to Moneygall. But how do I find where it actually was?
Many thanks!

It’s Moneygall mis-transcribed.
Look at the House and building return image top right corner.

Yes thanks - I think you must be correct. Annoying that this mis-transcription then propagated.
