Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Place of Birth
« on: Wednesday 06 October 21 23:43 BST (UK) »
Greetings!
I've been going back and looking over some miscellaneous records that I had saved a while back and came across one birth certificate in particular that has left me confused.
The birth certificate in question is from Knoydart in 1860, and try as I might I just can't quite figure out what the specific place of birth says. I'm pretty familiar with the area in question. It was and still is a remote, out of the way area and I'm familiar with many of various names of old settlements and shielings that are scattered along the coastline. However, I'm unaware of anywhere that matches what appears to be written here.
It looks like it says Inveryorkel, but a quick google search brings up zero results for that. I thought perhaps it could have been Inveroykel, but that is approx 150 miles away and nowhere near Knoydart. The only name that is even remotely close would be Inverguseran, which is on the Knoydart Peninsula, but I'm almost positive that is not what this says.
Appreciate anyone's thoughts or input on this!
