Decipering the Residence of Nancy Evans and James Montgomery
« on: Friday 20 October 23 23:26 BST (UK) »
My 2x Great Grandparents, Nancy and James were married at the Meeting House, Presbyterian Church Banagher, Co Londonderry in 1848.  I am trying to find out where the couple were living when they married.  I wondered if anyone could make out the Townland that they were both living at. I thought it may be the Townland of Tirglassan. Thankyou in advance

Yes it does look like Tirglassan with the long 's' used in times past when there was a double s in the word.
