Title: name of birth location please
Post by: stormtrooper on Sunday 01 March 15 00:30 GMT (UK)

This is an extract from an ancestors death certificate Birth approximately 1832/3 could someone tell me what this place name is & where it is in Wicklow. 
note this information was given by an Australian son on law spelling may be incorrect

I think the first word may simply be "county". You could try searching for a church baptism record on the Wicklow section of rootsireland.ie.

lol. Spent the last hour checking townlands, placenames, old maps etc., but to no avail.

Nice one, it may very well be that, I can see it now you've said it.  :)

I think Dermo is probably right about it being County.

Well done dermo.

Thankfully I didn't have much time to search this morning because like gaffy I was getting no where.

A look a the Tithe Applotment books might also help
