My brick wall. William CAIN shown on 1881 census for Chesterfield living with wife Elizabeth and children. William went to US as miner in 1884 with two eldest boys then came back a few years later to collect another 2 boys. After that none of them were ever heard of again. The helpful enumerator has managed to obliterate William's place of birth which now reads 'Bally Mo...' Other than Bally Money any ideas of what this could be? Looked on Ancestry census for any of these Cain names but no luck so far in finding the right ones. I need inspiration! |

Hi Mary On the actual image it says "Ireland Bally Mo??" Had a look on the Irish Ancestors site - the only place name in Ireland that fits is "Bally More". There are two such places with that name - one in Cork, one in Roscommon. Then had a second look at the census image, and I suppose that it could be "Bally Moar" on the image. Richard. |
