Hi, Can anyone read the birthplace from this certificate? It's in the Newry district in Northern Ireland.

I had a look on http://www.ulsterplacenames.org/PDF%20Files/Newry%20and%20Mourne%20(C.%20Dunbar).pdf and wondered if Carrivekeeny was a possibility (with the v written as ff).

All the best

Thank you for your responses. I was thinking it said Cariffkeevey or Cariffkeeny.

Carol, I can't see "Carry Keeney" as a parish on the link you gave.

Thanks Philip, Carrivekeeny seems a very likely location. Is it a Parish or a Road or a house name etc?

My other thought was that as a sailor maybe the baby was born on a ship called "Cariffkeeny", but this seems unlikely.

It’s not the name of a ship.  There are special arrangements for registering births on ships but the vessels name would also be preceded by SS or suchlike, I feel sure.

In my opinion, it’s Carrivekeeny (spelled on the cert as Carriffkeeny) a townland in Co. Armagh (but within Newry’s registration area) in the sub-district of Ballybot. (That’s where it was registered). It’s a mile or so west of Newry on the Mountain Rd.

1911 census:

I also notice some O’Keeffe households nearby in Fathom Lower:
