Deciphering a place name
« on: Sunday 13 October 24 22:41 BST (UK) »
Hello, I'd really appreciate help deciphering a "Native Place and County" and "Read or Write" from an immigration record from 1853.

The words are highlighted in the first attachment and then up close in the next two.

The place appears to begin with Ch  and end in y - Innvernesshire (?Inverness-shire?).

Thanks so much.

The last extract about reading or writing says 'neither' I think.  ETA the name of the town looks like Chisney, Chirney?

Some of the children who emigrated with Hector and Flora will be out working, and therefore appear in other census records.

Sarah Lamont (age 20 born Tyree) in 1851 census

For what it's worth after Neale's excellent info, the county in the listing is incorrectly listed as Invernessshire

Add - wondering if the place might be Caolas ((pronounced Chalas - maybe he said something like Chalay)
