Where is Cordough (Enniskeen)?

littlespider

Hello, im trying to find the location of a place in Enniskeen, the place is called Cordough.

Its the area that my relatives lived in the 1911 census. I cannot find Cordough on the internet.

Can anyone tell me where it is exactly?

Thank you

Victor

Corduff is on the Carrickmacross to Shercock Road. Its in Co. Monaghan but not near Inniskeen which is off the Carrickmacross to Dundalk Road and was the homeplace of the poet Patrick Kavanagh.

thanks ,but the area is just south of kingscourt cavan.

2 Cordough Enniskeen Cavan, is the address on the 1911 census.

I think the area might have a new name, or new houses built there by now..

id like to find it though

I think there is a typing mistake in the census. You are looking for Cordoagh townland in Enniskeen District Electoral Division (now simply referred to as EDs = Electoral Divisions). Be careful not to confuse Enniskeen townland and Enniskeen ED.

I checked a few returns and it looks much more like and "a" than a "u": http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001682175/



See page 9 of 29 here for the EDs: http://www.electoralareacommittees.ie/reports/EABCChapter5%28LocalAuthoritiesC%29.pdf
