Can anyone decipher?
« on: Wednesday 08 July 15 13:14 BST (UK) »
Can anyone decipher the place of residence or occupation of my ancestor James who died in '82 aged 90. His death was registered in Irvinestown, Fermanagh. Thanks!

Scrabbagh I think. :)

Oh it does look like that, thank you so much! I just googled it and that's in Leitrim? Did there used to be a Scrabbagh in Fermanagh?

And the occupation:

Herd (as in shepherd, cowherd etc.) ??

Oh perhaps you're right about the occupation - I really have no idea because I just discovered him today. The only thing I could think of was 'head' as in head of the house but that doesn't classify as a job so I'd say herd is right
