Tyrone would be nearest if it is indeed county but there is a parish of tyrella Co Down.

I feel 99% certain it would be Tyrone. If I think about the sound/s, and how an accent could sound so different to an enumerator. I am remembering ''my'' Trelawney Fletcher, born in Suffolk, who was registered as Troloner. Trelawney being a Cornish name must have sounded very odd to the registrar, and maybe Trelawney's mother had difficulty pronouncing it, too!

Hi Been thinking about this on the way home and all I can come up with Tyrone as well. It's the only County I can think of that has two syllables and starts with a T so Tipperary's out. I've just had a similar 'accent problem' up on Tyneside - so we know it happened. Oh and accents don't go away - my friend's sister has been away from Belfast for nearly 40 years, but you'd think she was just visiting here! Sheila

I wonder if it is an attempt at Co. Tyrone The image acturally reads Ireland, Co. Tirrell but other censuses just say Ireland and worse still, her husband Mark was also born in Ireland (from 1871 census)
