Title: Town/Village in Parish of Abercorn
Post by: Voltaire1694 on Friday 26 April 24 22:32 BST (UK)

Hello

I have this (editted) image from the Parish of Abercorn. On the left side is the name of the village or town where the occupants' are situated. It is something like "Priestinel".
(http://)
Can anyone read it or do you know of such a place? I can't find anything similar near Abercorn.

Thanks

Craig
