Re: STARK; Bodoney Upper, TYR,NIR; -1861 Surely you mean the townland of Broughderg (Bruach Dearg)? I'e never come across a Dergborough in the Omagh area. In any case, the name would not make sense - the word "borough" is Anglo-Saxon, and therefore extremely unlikely to occur in an Irish townland name. A lot of our townland names in Ireland date from a period centuries before the Angles and Saxons ever came to Britain - never mind to Ireland!
