Roscommon townland/parish query

riverina

I have a transcription of a death cert in Australia in 1879, which gives the woman's place of birth as: JILLOLSEH, ROSCOMMON IRELAND

Taking into account that the Australian transcriber is probably unfamiliar with Irish townlands, and also may have misread the handwriting on the original entry, and additionally that the informant (the elderly husband) may have mis-remembered the townland name, can anyone suggest what the real townland/parish might be?

I thought that it's more likely to be something starting "Kill" rather than "Jill" as transcribed, but I've searched Roscommon townland listings and can't find anything that might fit.

Can anyone help?

spurious

Is the surname very common?

Thanks for reply.

Her family surname was Waldron.

I'm wondering about the townland "Kilteasheen" as a possibility. Anyone know its pronunciation?

Tithe applotment books show Waldrons in Roscommon in Kilcolagh and Killtullagh.

Excellent, thanks pinkypinky. "Jillolseh" could be a corruption of either Kilcolagh or Killtullagh.

Killtullagh is looking good, as the husband was from Co Galway. Thanks for your help!
