On 12 Mar 1832, William Beatty acted as a witness to a deed relating to land rented by the late John Jeffers in the Townland of Claraghy, County Monaghan. William is recorded as living in a place that looks like "Carorfrage" or "Canonfrage" but which may be a mistranscription or error - as I've failed to find any reference to it. The text indicates that it was in the County of Monaghan and I know that in 1829 (the year of his marriage) William lived in the Townland of Aughadrumkeen or Aughadrucheen.
The source is
FamilySearch Transcripts of Memorials of Deeds, Vol 881, p 333, Deed 584333 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSK3-MQ3T-H?i=205&cat=…
I've attached the segment of the text which includes the word "Carorfrage" - and wonder if anyone would know where it might have been. See the third line of the text.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mary

Mary,From the info you have supplied I have two possible answers. There are approximately 1852 townlands in Co. Monaghan but only two Aghadrumkeens both in the Barony of Dartree, and Poor Law Union of Cootehill. Cootehill Union, in Co. Cavan included part of Co Monaghan.
The first Aghadrumkeen (A) is in the civil parish of Aghabog and the second (B) is in the civil parish of Ematris(Rockcorry). They are only a few miles apart.
A, shares a boundary with the townlands of Corranewy and Corragarry in the adjoining civil parish of Ematris..
B, shares a boundary with the townland of Cordressigo and is only a short distance from the townland of Claraghy, Rockcorry.
There are Beatty/ Beattie families living in that general area. Hope tis is of help to you. L. McD.

Thank you, both Patricia and Lawrence, for your incredibly speedy and extremely helpful responses. I had looked at the list of townlands several times - but had failed to come up with anything likely. I hadn't realized that there were 2 townlands named Aughadrumkeen in Ematris - so that is a very useful tip. I'll now follow up on your suggestions.
Thank you, too, Patricia for the details re the marriage of William B and Alicia Jeffers - I had found this and apologise for not indicating that this was the source of the 1829 info on William's abode.
William was my 2nd great-granduncle, a son of my 3rd great-grandfather George Beatty who emigrated to Canada ca 1832 with the rest of his children. William stayed behind and "disappeared" from family records - until 2 years ago when DNA matches and English official records revealed that he had, as family lore had told us, worked "for the railway" (as a contractor) and led a peripatetic existence which took him and his family from Ireland to Scotland, England and possibly Wales.
All good wishes,
Mary
