Do you mean Derry, perchance?

Please just a friendly nudge here--no malice implied. Really appreciate your hard work on this.

Oh please, lets not get into splitting hairs over a name! A friendly nudge it may be, but-----------.

It is a good question, btw.
The answer is Yes, Londonderry. At the time of the Plantation of County Derry so many were from London that the County name was changed to Londonderry. There is still the city of Derry.


RADGE - I intended no disrespect when posting information on Owen O'Neill as He defeated the Scots under Monro at Benburb in County Tyrone in 1646. it was just a part of the text I quoted to provide information on him.
