    Anyone have a go please at cause of death for #2 (fifth entry down), Michael Doyle 24/6/1912? Acute Bright is presumably inflammation of the kidneys i.e. Bright's disease, but below that? Some kind of poisoning but I can't make it out. Given he was a publican I thought 'alcoholic' but it doesn't read that way to me.

    So he's erroneously stuck an 'a' in uremic? I think you're correct. Nice one.

    It might be Fagan, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

    Thanks--it does look like Fagan.  I checked both Griffith's Valuation and John Grenham's site and Fagan is a very common name in the immediate area.  So I think I'll go with Fagan.  Thank you both very much.

    Sgt CG is perhaps Sergeant C[ivil] G[uard].  Just a guess.

    It's Cloone Co Leitrim and maybe Sergeant Civil Guard (Sgt CG) ?

    There are three Cloone townlands in Co Leitrim, apart from dozens starting with cloon (meadow).
    The one near Mohill is the one that could be considered a village.
    And it had a constabulary barrack in the 25" map.

    think the first letter is a 'B' - looks similar to the B in Bachelor to me, the 2nd part looks like Smith with a squashed 'S' like the S in spinster .. so I'm going with Blk. Smith
