Decipher Parish in Cavan if Possible
« on: Sunday 28 June 09 14:03 BST (UK) »
Hello folks

This Parish is stumping me at moment...anyone care to have a go? Please note.....it is from a marriage in 1855 in Scotland, so chances are registrar has written what he thought he heard:

"Trees without roots fall over!"
 
""People who never look backward to their ancestors will never look forward to posterity." - Edmund Burke

Don't just wait for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind .

it looks like 'Parish Kieland' to me..

there are a few Kill... parishes that could fit I suppose, if the name was misunderstood by a registrar e.g.  Killinagh, Kildallan

see RC parishes on the Irish Times website : http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/counties/rcmaps/cavanrc.htm

and Civil parishes : http://www.rootschat.com/links/06kx/

Thanks for input.  I had already tried comparing Parishes on Sean Ruad and Failte Romhat with the writing...but like you, keep coming up with a few possibilities albeit none that strong. At least County is written clearly, so better than nothing.
