Can anyone help with the town/village of Kilmordey.  Looking for the name Donovan in Kilmordey.

 Hi Blonwin if it's any help there is a Kilmoyler Co, Tipperary
  and a Kilmoyley in Co, Kerry.

Thanks Lep,

In one Census(1861) the birth place of my gggggrandmother/father is said to be Ireland, the next one (1871)  says Cork and the next (1881) says Kilmordey and I have been intouch with Cork city who gave me the names of Kilmurry, Kilcorney, Kildorrery or Kilmoney.  I suspect these are all in or around Cork.
Some other kind soul has looked at the transcription for 1881 Census and came up with Hil/Haelmordey.

Family is John (1831) and Mary Donovan (1833).

Regards,
Vivien

Hi Lep,

Thanks for the info.

I would say that this topic is completed.
