Post by: gowjani on Saturday 22 October 16 13:04 BST (UK)

Can anyone tell me where Eliza was born please ? It`s Bally------ something or other & I have no idea what the next two lines say. Eliza was born 3 Dec 1872 & registered in the district of Ballykelly in the union of Newtownlimavady, County Londonderry. Many thanks for again help given.

I'd say Ballymore, T [or S]amlaght, Finlagan. Are there any capital 'S's to compare?

Thanks josey & gaffy for your quick replies. 

josey -Second word must be Tamlaght as a capital S further up the page is different.

Many thanks to you both.

Confirm Tamlaght Finlagan.  Newtown Limavady is known as Limavady.
