Need help deciphering and locating parish names
« on: Sunday 21 February 21 22:08 GMT (UK) »
We think we’ve traced an ancestor’s death in a parish record. But we can’t work out the parish name and where it is exactly.

In the attached photo there are two parishes mentioned. Bally??? and Killoughlin (we think).

Can anybody confirm the names and where exactly these parishes are?

The death record also shows Newgate as a location. Where is that in relation to these parishes?

Many thanks

I had just come to the same conclusion.  Walter Lynch died 23 December 1863.

Ballyboy Road comes from Kilcormac (Co. Offaly) and heads in a generally ENE direction towards Erry and Mountbolus.  South of Mountbolus is New Gate.

I had no idea wives could petition to accompany transportees. My new rootschat fact of the day. How often were these petitions successful, does anyone know?

In The Fatal Shore, Robert Hughes says that straightforward petitions were refused.

Where a case was made by the wife that she had useful skills, such that she would not be a burden on the colony; and her local community raised funds to help with the necessities of her passage, then some petitions were successful.
