I'm trying to make sense of an ancestry record I've recently found. The document is from 1860
It lists: "Wedslow, Ballancanty, Bruff, Co. Limerick, Ireland" under the column heading of "Where Living".
I knew they were from Bruff but this seems to give more specific info. I just can't seem to find anything to identify this as an address or a neighborhood in Bruff.
If anyone can help me make sense of this info I'd be grateful. I visited Bruff this July but didn't have any idea where in Bruff might hold actual connections.
The record is for my GGG-grand mother: Honora (Donovan) Lynch
She herself may have originally been from Athlacca.She married Patrick lynch in 1827 (I think)
Any info would be appreciated.

Re: Ballancanty
Hi Michael, I know there is a townland called Ballynanty in the parish of Tullabracky I wonder is this a mistake in the spelling. Wedslow could have been the name of a house of farm. The townland of Ballynanty is in the civil parish of Tullabracky but very close to Bruff.
You are correct Honora married Michael Lynch on the 4th December 1827 in Bruff
