Hermy

Be grateful if someone with a cúpla focal can translate the date of death of Mary Gilchrist [#39] for me.

I know the month but the day has me stumped.

It's not the Irish I learned ..but it looks like the Eighteenth or the Eighth (Ocht being 8)

It looks like "an Ocímad La" ..La is Day..so the Eighteenth/Eight Day.

I would have learned 18th as an Ochtú la Deag.

The entry before and after both look like the 29th "an naoinad la is Ficead" meaning the 9th day and twenty. "Ficead".or "Fiche" meaning 20.
I would have learned this as "an naonú Lá is Fiche"

There is no "Ficead" in entry 39 so my guess is either 8 or 18th.

Iúl is July.

I came from the Munster Dialect of Irish..there can be some big differences between the 4 main dialects of Irish. Almost like different launguages in some cases!!
Maybe someone from the East might have better insight. Perhaps there is a Gaelige Forum that may help?!!

EDIT: it looks like it was registered the 14th August. "And Ceatharad la Deag" ..so I'd say an Ocímad la by itself would be the 8th of July

I think it says the eighth day of July - an t-ochtmhad lá - the old spelling and the handwriting is fairly challenging

Hermy

Thanks folks.

Yes, I'd be okay on the wording but the old script is a challenge.

EDIT: The 8th it is - just found the death notice!

Cause of death for entry 155 please.

I can make out the word "Gastric"

and "13 days in Hosp."

Thanks

Hermy

Something like this?

'Perforated gastric ulcer, _______, peritonitis 1 month, 13 days in hospital, certified'

It's 'adhesive peritonitis'.

Thanks Hermy and Vetch. I would never had transcribed that myself.

In entry 49, marriage of Francis Barrington and Bridget Keogh, can anyone identify the residence of Bridget's parents, Edward and Catherine Keogh? Somwhere in Co Wicklow? Thank you!

Thank you! I thought it said Glascolmane but couldn't find that on any townland maps/lists. Much appreciated!

logainm.ie has text files where you can look through variations of old names for listed places.
I see there were Keoghs still there in 1901.

Thanks, I have used the text files before but the "Glas" part was putting me off! Thanks for the help, it's opened up that new window

Hi

Would anyone be able to decipher where in King's County Catherine Molloy lived (6th records down)

I wonder can someone decipher the address in Cork City of Mary Doolan (Entry 244) from this death record.

Could it be Willis Place? you'd need to cross reference with District 4 area coverage

Hermy

Thanks for the suggestion Griffinx.

I still can't figure it out but I'm not seeing Willis.

It's definitely "House 32........Place"

Could it possibly be Willis..spelled "Willeus" I'm seeing "W....eus" anyway.

KildareFan

Could it be Wellington Place?

That's what I'm seeing too.

Is there such a place?

The death occurred in cork DLA, dispensary district 4. The home address could be anywhere in cork city or county.

The street names in 1882 could be different to today, either by renaming or demolition.

Vetch

It looks like Warren's Place, now Parnell Place, Cork city centre.

Yes. I think it might be written Wearens place.

That's very good of you KildareFan.

I've run into a problem now with a child born after this woman's death so I may have the wrong death record.

Hate that!

I think the first two letters are W and a (the small a looks like the capital A in asylum in the previous column).

Hi, would really appreciate any help interpreting the details regarding the last record in attached image for William Cushion. Particularly difficult to read the burial place (sepultum est in) and observations.

pinkypinky

I can only make out the word Ratheniska at the end of the sentence.
