My 4x great grandmother was admitted to the workhouse in Shoreditch, London in 1852, she provided her birthplace as what looks like Evebury in the County of Cork. I cannot find Evebury in records or map, can anyone help tell me what the place could be. I have attached copy of the workhouse entry as I may be reading name incorrectly.
Thanks for any help

The RC parish was Iveleary also known as Inchigeelagh in West Cork. I will see if I can find any records.

The Iveleary records start in 1816 https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0062 and it appears from the note that Jeremiah and Ellen married around 1823. However, my search of the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie failed to find a marriage record. You may want to scan the register to see if you can locate the record. Appears they left Ireland for England right after marriage.

Many, many thanks for that Roger
re: trying to find a place in Cork
bsglondon,
So there is a marriage for Jas Cronin & Ellen Leary of Gurteenflugh, Bealanageary, Inchigeelagh, West Muskerry, Cork: 19 Feb 1822. I also found a Darby Cronin in the parish of Inchigeelagh, townland of Corney, union of Dunmanway, in the Ireland Tithe Applotment Book for 1827-1834. They are gone by the 1852 Griffith’s Valuation, most houses in the Corney Griffith’s are unoccupied so this does seem to be a promising lead.
