  • I suspect that Moycorkey is Moycarky which is a townland and a parish. Can’t make any suggestions for Musselstown.

  • I believe this is the marriage 17th January 1833 (NLI register images) :  Moyne & Templetouhy - 2491/03

    The full text in the register appears to be : 'Thomas Ryan of the parish of Moycarky certified by Rev. W. Dea[?] P.P. and Ellen Dorney of Manselstown in the parish of Moyne were joined in marriage by Rev. W. Lanagan in the presence of Wm Dorney of Manselstown, Dan Ryan Thurles and Tom Brown K...'

    Manselstown is a townland in Moyne civil parish, it's located south of the village of Moyne and about half way to Twomileborris. Moycarkey is the name of both a Civil and Catholic parish, and is located south of the parish of Moyne and Tempetouhy.
