I have a marriage record from an index (not the original.) The marriage took place 16 Apr 1846 in County Mayo, Burriscarra Roman Catholic Parish. The address for the groom is given as "Cailarinhane". I realize this may be a mistranscription, but I can't find anything even remotely close, even on an old map. Can anyone help? IP: Logged |

I'm not having any luck with this placename, either. Do you happen to know the bride's residence (probably not)? I checked both counties Mayo and Galway for some place that could fit. I looked at all of the townlands starting with Cool, Cuil, Cull, Keel, Kil, and Kyl. Nothing so far. Perhaps Tom might have some ideas. But I'll keep browsing. If I had lots of free time, I'd examine the six-inch maps from the Mayo Library, at: http://www.mayolibrary.ie/maps/data/MapsData/index.htm but there are a lot of townlands in the RC parish to examine - and his residence might have been outside of the parish. Incidentally, the RC parish in the mid 1800's included the civil parishes of Ballintober, Burriscarra and Touaghty. If I get any bright ideas soon, I'll post again. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I am having a real problem with the first four letters 'Cail'. In the census of 1851 there was not a single placename in all 70,000 townlands that began with those letters. We would have to see the original scan to give you a better chance of finding this place. Kind regards. Tom. IP: Logged |

Thanks for your efforts. Unfortunately, there is no address listed for the bride, and I don't have the original scan, but may be able to get it at a later time. Thanks again. IP: Logged |

Here's just a suggestion. The first part Cailar sounds a bit like Caher. Could it maybe be a misreading? There is a Caher in Kilmainemore parish which according to the 1837 Field Name Books was also called Caheraraan. http://www.mayolibrary.ie/maps/data/townlands/CLN.htm To my ear, Cailarinhane and Caheraraan sound fairly similar. Another similar sounding place in Kilmainemore parish is Caherwiclaun. What do you think guys? Tony IP: Logged |

I have found other records related to this family, and it appears likely that the place name is Killawullaun East, also listed variously as Coill a' Bhulláin, Cullawullaun East, Kellavolane East, and Killevillane. Thanks for your help. IP: Logged |

There is a Killawullaun Mountain. A townland called Killawullaun East with 331 acres and another townland Killawullaun West with 329 acres. They are all in the Parish of Ballintober. According toe the local seanachies (storytellers around 1830) it is Coill a' bhulláin which P.W.Joyce translates to the wood of the young bull. Regards. Tom.
