Hello,

 

I have several birth records oof ancestors from late 18th early 19th century from Parish/District of Mitchestown with an address that was transcribed as Thingrisa.

has anybody heard of that or something similar? I can't see any townland with a name like that.

 

Any help is appreciated!

  • Hi, Are you referring to Mitchelstown in Cork or Meath?

    Do you have an original document that you might scan and post here so that we can see "Thingrisa"?

    Thank you.

  • Hi Patricia,

    Yes, it's Cork and I'm attaching the transcript and the original.

    If it's the record I'm looking for, then it's probably towards Kildorrery, but not sure. 

    Thanks!

    Ps. I also saw it written as Tingrisil on another transcription. But I'm attaching a better close up of one of the original registers.

  • OK, mystery solved I'd say. I examined several years of records and finally found one with slightly better handwriting. In fact it's Kiltrislane, Mitchelstown. Very bad transcription, but considering the handwriting for a number of records, it's not surprising.
