Please can anyone help? I have ancestors Crowley/Crawley from Co Cork in Ireland. In 1871 census they are in Lambeth and birthplace is listed as Kuna/Kurra, Cork, Ireland. Has anyone any idea where this place is in Cork. No such place but could be Curra or even Conna as the enumerator may have had difficulty understanding the Irish pronunciation.

Hello Brett, give us their names and birth years and we could take a look at some other census records which may have clearer information.

Hi,
It look's like"CURRA"...North of Kinsale.See on Google map.

Probably right in saying that enumerator had no way of knowing correct spelling.
