    1. [CoTyIre] Assistance deciphering a location
    2. Margaret Donnelly
    3. I could use a little assistance, please, in deciphering a location in County Tyrone. I have a 1911 obituary/death notice, from Philadelphia. The typeface is somewhat broken, from the microfilm, and I believe the location was misspelled in the original. I've browsed through my "A New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland," without settling on the absolute correct answer. The location appears to be "Bllynegby, County Tyrone." As with any broken typeface, an "I" could be an "L" or an "N" could be an "H," in lower case. The decedent is Roman Catholic, and her maiden name was McCusker or McKusker. She was age 42 at death in 1911. Parents were Charles and Mary. The death certificate lists her mother's maiden name as Clarke. The only found Civil Birth Registration for a Mary Anne McCusker for that era is 5 June 1868 to Charles and Mary Hagan, in Clonavaddy. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Margaret
