I have an 1865 birth register of one of my wifes ancesters. It is written in script and rather difficult to decipher in places. The place of residence is shown as what appears to be LISBANE and underneath that is written what also appears to be P KILMORE. I have been unable to find these places on any map, does anyone recognize thes places or similar spelling. The document shows as being registered in the district of Monaghan in the Union of Monagahan in the county of Monaghan. Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. John Wilson.

You got it right. It is a wee tiny townland on the Parish of Tydavnet border. It is almost due west of Monaghan Town and South of Bellanode, near Annayalty Lough. If you search on Bellanode, Monaghan, Ireland on www.maps.expedia.com and expand the map you will get a feel for it. A parish map is online at: http://www.exis.net/ahd/monaghan/baronies.htm HTH....
