Can you help me to read this parish name?
« on: Tuesday 09 February 21 16:24 GMT (UK) »
In this excerpt from a parish register (attached), the priest wrote that Patrick Lynch's address was "Mr. Corbet's parish" and the name follows, but at some time in the past the page was smudged.  It seems that the name starts with "Kil".  The transcriber thought that the name was "Kilrea" but I don't think this was a 19th century parish in County Tipperary, where the marriage occurred.  Possibly Lynch could have come from a nearby county, I suppose.

Any help reading this text is appreciated.

I think you are better to scroll through the records in the attached.  Several 'Kil' contenders.
