Help to identify location (COMPLETED)

[RJ_Paton]

The attached image is from the death certificate of my gt grandfathers brother who died in Scotland in 1907 aged 32 (not much luck as gt grandad died in 1899 aged 23). This is potentially a breakthrough in my Irish brick wall

Can anyone make out the location named in County Armagh by my Grt-Grt-Grandmother

Hi Falkyrn it looks like Killy Lea Co Armagh to me. There are 14 townlands in Armagh that start with Killy look here

Thanks for that

It dosent look like my link worked but if you look at the L in Ireland and the A in days (six days certified) thats how i worked out the lea and then i checked the sean ruad site and there are 14 killy townlands in Armagh and the lea fits the best to your one on the cert. 

Good luck.
ps my relations came from gilford in banbridge county down just beside Armagh my grt grandas brother married in Armagh. i'll be going to visit the area within the next few weeks if you want me to look for anything give me a shout.

Thanks for the kind offer... although I have nothing concrete to go on at the moment.
Having looked at some maps KillyLea is looking a good bet ...... my grt grandmother came from County Monaghan .... although she and grt grandad married in Glasgow - family legend says that the marriage caused a split in the family ... although why no one knows.

That being said it was always thought that the family came from Antrim where the Patton name is fairly common although this new Armagh breakthrough might explain why we couldn't find any records there.

It seems as though a lot of people went to Scotland, that brother of my grt grandfather i mentioned earlier ended up in coatbridge larnarkshire with his wife.


goodluck with your search
