I'm returning to my wife's family history after some time and an envelope has come to light giving an address in Kerry which probably dates to the late C19th - I'ms struggling to identify the location and hoping that someone with a little more knowledge of the area can help me to pinpoint it.
Copy attached

Its certainly not a location I have come across before - its difficult to transcribe some of it
Cornelius Galivan?
The Old Court?
Gurthin? Farm
Co Kerry
Ireland
What details do you have on the person?
-
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01isr/ gets you everyone called Cornelius in Kerry on 1901 Census
-
Gurthin mentioned here (https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiKtce4_I7QAhWJOsAKHfThA7oQFggdMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.org%2Fstream%2Fannalsofkingdomo03ocleuoft%2Fannalsofkingdomo03ocleuoft_djvu.txt&usg=AFQjCNH_YehIfDPfG5gFerQqdI91mvhclw)

Further to this...
Other records I have suggest that there may be a connection to Lixnaw , where there is an old house called "Old Court"

I think maybe "Gurthen/Gurthin Farm" .... ?

Well there are only 5 on Census, all the OP needs to do is look at them and see if any makes sense and post which one!

There are indeed a number of Cornelius Sullivan (& variants) in the area I'm looking at - it was the location of the particular farm I'm trying pin down.
I suspect it will be related to Gortaneare
Thanks for all the responses

Well if people had some lues about who you are looking for and if they are on Census or not, then it would give a general idea of where to look.....

Just a matter of mooching around on old maps to see if it is named so. Most likely on Griffith's!
