 Hi ZKT I do think you would be better if you got expert help. If you do please let me know how you get on.
               Going back some years ago my cousin hired an expert in Dublin
  she was very good.
              We found out many things we would never have found out from any board.
                            Good Luck Lep.

I think it will be really difficult as  idon't even know the county!!

I know Katherine Doorely was born in Baluawak Kow Ireland and that this is spelt wrong. It is probably a place starting with Bally....!!

I know her husband was in the army and stationed at the following places.  I want to find their marriage but don't know the parish or even county they married in. I'm guessing it would be near her birthplace
 
Can any one link Bally...(Baluawak Kow) with any of the places her husband was stationed so I can narrow the search otherwise the 'expert researcher' will cost a fortune!?

1816 -1817 Dublin

1817 Naas

1818 -1819 Londonderry

 How about Ballycowan Kings  Townland and civil parish.
                             What do you think.

Yes That seems like a real possibility
Thanks

Hello ZKT,
heywood here from the other thread.
I am confused here because I thought I read in another thread that you had discounted Bernard 1 who I thought was this one in this thread because he was too young on discharge.
Is Bernard 2 the one born Aweston? I hd thought it was the other one sorry.
regards
Kath

ZKT.
 Something that has not been considered is that this place, Baluawak Kow is not an 'original' Anglicised word but a word spelt by a person listening to an Irish placename being pronounced. It sound to me like the ford mouth of the cripple or beggar spoken in Irish, 'beal átha a'bhachaigh'. Whic would sound like Ballaw-wacka
Regards.
 Tom.

apols if I am confusing anyone. Bernard 1 was from Aweston I have now discounted him as my ancestor.
Bernard  2 is my ggggggrandad but I don't know where he came from (just that he was in the army) I think he was from Ireland. His wife was Irish and she is the one from 'Balauwak, Kow. Which I am struggling to find. It clearly wasn't spelt right on the census and is the interpretation of the enumerator completing the census.
I really want to find our where Bernard came from  so if I can find where he was married I might find where he was born but I am stuck.
