Can anybody recognise the unreadable words in this image from the 1911 UK census ?

The top line is "Ireland County down"

The 1st word on the second line is "Liverpool". Above it is something that looks like 'moran Gelidughan', which to me is meaningless! I've searched Google and Wikipedia without success.

The 3rd line is "Ireland Newry", with "County Armagh" above it

You've got me there. Liverpool placenames were never my forte. I also done a google search like yourself without any success.
Maybe Pete might be able to shed some light?
Sorry.
Regards.
Tom.

Tom,

As an ex-Merseysider, I'm not confinced it is linked to 'Liverpool'. I thought it was more likely to be Irish.

Would you belive it I just I just might have it.
It may be phonetic. In County Down there is a parish called Mourne and a townland in that parish called Glenloughan.
Perhaps its phonetically supposed to be Ireland. In the County Down. In the Parish of Mourne. In the Townland of Glenloughan.
Feasable?
Regards.
Tom.
