Locationsought old name was Currcruise- it was in the Dysart /Tisrara parish, County Roscommon/Galway.
Honoria Kelly, `` Currcruise `` and John Moore were married in Dysart/Tisrara Church in 1870. John was from Creeher, Ballyforan .
I am assuming that Currcruise was an old Local name for an area in teh Dysart/Tisrara Civil parish.
Any idea of where Currcruise relates to ?
M. Carty:
I looked at the Dysart/Tisrara/Ballforan parish register for the marriage in question and the location entry for Honoria Kelly clearly shows Curwina. I saw one other marriage where the same location was shown. Must be a local placename. I'm not in Ireland so I can't assist further.

On the corresponding Church record of the marriage the bride's residence looks more like 'Currivina'.. possibly an alternate name for a location in the area, or a local placename
I suspect the location is possibly a variant for Cuillawinnia townland which is in Tisara civil parish,
The placename database includes several variants, and the name in Irish 'Coill a mhuine', 'wood of the brake' https://www.logainm.ie/en/44212
Many thanks. There is an area, close to Ballyforan, in the civil parish of Dysart/Tisrara/Taughboy, which has a local name of Currawina. The correct name for the area is Muckloon. Your help is much appreciated.
