Is This A Name Or Shorthand?

[Rosinish]

You could be right bbart, your theory does make sense.

My thinking was along the lines of my own family who inherited surnames as forenames, one of such was Greenwell as a given name i.e. O'hara seemed possible.

As for your free cookies, I'd prefer oat cakes

Near, sort of,  the island of Innisfree

Probably at least 50 Irish miles as the crow flies, and more like 70-80 miles by road.     Innisfree on Lough Gill.

I did say 'sort of' .....chance to look at a beautiful part of the country and read that poem again. 
Thanks for putting up the picture and the maps.  The second is really interesting.

Is OP going to come back to let us know if we are on the right track with this or possibly to thank us for the work that has been done......with quite sketchy information as to the location of the records being looked for/searched for.  Which did make it more difficult........

OP was online today, prior to your post, hopefully now digesting it all before returning with the outcome?

A topic from OP here
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=860869.0

Is awaiting further response too.
But, as mentioned, there is often a lot to take in and evaluate especially with more than one topic running.

We don't need to have a response discussing the findings - just a thank you is always welcome.
