Balawak, Kow!!!!!
« on: Friday 26 January 07 17:18 GMT (UK) »
My GGGGgrandma was born in Ireland in about 1795

I know her husband was Bernard Irons Soldier at Fort George Scotland where 2 of her children where born between 1820 - 1825

There is a gap then til she and a daugther turn up in Cheshire in 1840s

The census states she was born  Balawak,Kow, Ireland.
Can any one identify this place. It might be spelt incorrectly but this is how it appears on the census!!!!

I'd imagine that it is some kind of initials or bad handwriting, is there any other details on the cert.

Hi Marie
No I have no other details this is how it is written on the 1861 census (Baluawak Kow Ireland. On all the other census it just states birthplace as Ireland
It could possibly say Baluahah Slow!! It is really bad hand writing

Hi Annie

Sorry no good at this IT stuff. Don't know how it post it and am having probs with my PC at the moment, can't get onto Ancestry to get it.

But if you can her name is Catherine Johnson she is boarding with Ellen and Marth Kenerley in Weaverham Cheshire on 1861 census

If you do have a look at it can you read her occupation?

Thanks ZKT
