Help reading name of county
« on: Thursday 24 July 14 08:38 BST (UK) »
I can read Limerick, but just cannot decipher the name of the second county on these shipping records.
Any help from you clever people on Rootschat would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Philip

Could it be Cambridgeshire?

I couldn't read it myself but Drosybont's suggestion of Cambridgeshire seems spot on. Every letter seems to align.
Researching: Cronin / Nolan - Gortadrislig, Kerry
Finn/Clifford - Callinafercy and Scort, Kerry
Spillane - Milltown
Also:- Byrne / Tyrrell - Dublin
