To me, it looks like Moat.

I think it looks like Moat also but there's not a townland in Fermanagh with that name according to www.thecore.com/seanruad
However, there's a Moat Primary School in Enniskillen and a Moat Lane in Lisnaskea. Perhaps not the townland name which will make it more difficult to locate.

It looks like Moat with an old-fashioned 't' at the end.
-
just going off the m in mcmanus the two snipits are 3 yrs apart so different writers do u still think moat
-

-
Absolutely, definitely, certainly MOAT!
Graham.

I think the M in McManus has the same sort of loop at the start- certainly doesn't look like Inish to me.

Hello Garngad! I was very excited to stumble upon your thread ;D James Crawford and Jane McManus are my GG Grandparents and yes it does say Moat Church, I am trying to send you a copy of their Civil Marriage Record and a picture of Moat church
-
in 1815 a Catholic Parish Church was built on a site of one rood 26 perches in the townland of Croaghan, it was known as the Moat Church and was in use until 1904
I am just new to this site, it looks amazing!
