help reading townland in Co.Clare

[riannisuileabhain]

hi. would appreciate help deciphering the names of the sponsors and the name of the townland in which theyre living in.

the first sponsors name is Michael McMahon and the second Margaret Dargan(?)

the details are
Bridget Halloran bapt 02 May 1831 to parents Michael and Margaret. (its about a third of the way down the right page)

Thanks for the snip.

The closest I can find, possibly a variant of the Irish name Dunatha = Doonaha?

I think the name of the sponsor, Margaret, is Dugan.
Possibly the mother's name is Margaret Considene/Consedine?

[riannisuileabhain]

thanks both. I believe the name of the townland should be on this list however I can’t seem to see any that match?

[shanreagh]

yes it should be on that list, if it was in that locality, Co Clare etc etc

Some thoughts

it seems to have either

xxxxxetc lehan
or
xxxxxetc laheen
on the end
My first attempts were
Deranaclehan
Rathlaheen
Kilmacduane
Cloonlaheen

There is another list of townlands on Wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_townlands_of_County_Clare
and the complete Co Clare list from the Townlands site
https://www.townlands.ie/clare/

I had a quick look down the register and could not see it there and so thought it was out of the Tulla area or out of the Co Clare area.......

I'll have another look tomorrow.

I see Margaret Dugan as the second witness.

For the location, to me it looks like Derancleha,  which a google search led to this:

If you scroll down to the first reply to that post, following the great links they include,  they list the children of interest to that poster,  born in Derancleha/Derrancleha in Afflick townland.

I can't find it on any map, maybe it no longer exists?

[riannisuileabhain]

think that could be it bbart. thanks everyone for your help it is greatly appreciated!
