place name

A census of 1891 Edinburgh gives a place of birth for Patrick Darcy as something that looks like Innisnagraph in Ireland. He married Bridget Duffy from County Leitrim. Does anyone have any idea what the place name could be? I've attached a scan.

That is certainly Innismagrath.It  is a Roman Catholic Parish within Co.Leitrim & is centred on the Drumkeeran area.
I suggest you join Drumkeeranfolk@yahoogroups.com.
It is a genealogy group which deals with that area of North Leitrim.
I have seen posts & also know there  were DArcys within that area in the townlands of Greaghnaglough & Lisnanerris.
On the above site there are also some photos.
Descendants of some still live in the general Drumkeeran area.
Hope this helps.


I am sorry but my email address is not working

For maps and details on County Leitrim research, check your local library for the “Resource County Leitrim 2006 CD” compiled by John Hunter.

Research in County Roscommon is very expensive. I suggest you don’t pay for Irish research until you understand how the system operates.
