1911 census, James Marshall, age 71, House 12,Gortagilly, Place of birth
« on: Thursday 16 April 20 21:18 BST (UK) »
On the 1911 census, James Marshall, age 71, is living at House 12, Gortagilly. It appears that townland of birth was entered first, instead of County of birth, and then townland crossed out, and county entered. I cannot determine the place of birth for James or his son Albert. Rachel was actually born in Co. Tyrone but even though her place of birth is crossed out, they have entered Co. Derry.
Can anyone determine the townland for James and Albert? I tried to attach the census but it was too large.
Thank you.

Albert according to his birth regstration was born in Gortagilly. see irishgenealogy.ie. James townland looks to be like Ballin followed by y or g and then a???. check townlands in Derry.

I did see Albert's birth on irishgenealogy and it does say Gortagilly. But the 1911 doesn't say that. As for James, sorta looks like Dallingarve but can't be sure.
Thanks for the help

You just need to post a link
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002870815/

Use IreAtlas https://thecore.com/seanruad/ and enter what you can see
 For example 'garve' choose At end of field and Londonderry and you get two
Ballynagarve and Derrygarve.

Derry at the end gives Ballinderry X 2, Little Derry, Drumderry and Londonderry

Thanks Sinann. Perhaps it is Ballynagarve as looks like 2 "ll"s although typically the family was from Gortagilly. Albert's pob does look like Londonderry and I did wonder about that before.
Thanks again
