Where is/was BELFORD
« on: Friday 15 February 19 15:01 GMT (UK) »
After years of searching, I THINK I’ve found both my GG-Grandparents’ Irish death records.

Martin Kelly married Julia O’Dea/O’Day and had a son, John Kelly b1845.  (Martin and Julia’s names are recorded on John’s 1866 Scottish MC.)

Martin’s 1885 DC shows he died in BELFORD.  The informant of the death was John Kavanagh, also of Belford (who coincidentally was the brother and informant of the record above Martin’s).  Try as I might, I cannot find a place called Belford.
 
Julia, now widowed, died 1900 Cahergown/Cahergowan, the death being registered by Hugh O’DEA.
Before I start investigating any link between Hugh O’Dea to Julia, and adding them to my tree, can anyone tell me where is/was Belford?

Thank you!

Can you not simply post a Link to what you are asking about?

Galway so, I know you said Galway but I wasn't sure if you meant the County or the district

Martin's DC shows Belford as place of death.
Difficult to read but looks like Turloughmore

Thank you Sinann and athaclaith62.  The answers were coming in while I was trying to read the place name!
