Ballinakill - may be Co Wicklow, judging from the various specimens from this site in 1881. Numerous such sheets in DBC could perhaps be assigned by checking whether they cluster to just a few counties, which at first site looks likely

[oldnick]

Approx 30 such sheets from 1881 don't specify the county. Sheets from 1881 which have been assigned to an Irish county on editing are as follows - vc20, 17 sheets; vc6, 16 sheets; vc11, 18 sheets; vc4,5, 3 sheets. From 1865: vc 22/23/24/30, 3 sheets.

Ballinakill is an area in the City of Waterford vc H6; other sheets of this genre also clearly refer to Waterford. Note the Quaker style of date "4 mo.", i.e. April.
