  • Irish spelling of surname

    Hi, I'm hoping there is an Irish language buff on here. How would the surname McGeough be written in Irish? I am trying to locate the family on the 1911 Irish census. I know the townland and have browsed through it but, unfortunately for me, that area is recorded in Irish. I know the place is correct as the family still own land there. It is Drumcarrow, Co Monaghan. I would be so grateful for any help because without it I'm snookered.

      Monaghan is part of the old kingdom of Ulster, even though it's now in the south, so I would suggest looking on Ulster Ancestry

          Thank you so much, I have managed to identify them on the 1911 Irish census and saved the information. I have a dictionary that I can use to translate relationships etc.
