Roman Catholic Parish Records - Carlingford
« on: Sunday 04 April 21 23:13 BST (UK) »
I have come across a place in the above parish records that I unable to locate. The name is Bellionin. I am wondering if it is a variation for Ballyonan.
Any help appreciated

Thanks
David

My guess is yes, someone more familiar with Co Louth might confirm it. But place names weren't always spelled the same way, just as surnames were not either. They were spelled like they sounded and Bellionin sounds the same as Ballyonan.
