Place Name Help.
I recently received a digital copy of my great great great grandparents who married in 1873 in New Caledonia. It mentions their places of origin, but I can't for the life of me decipher the place of origin of the bride.
I'm assuming, for the time being that it is Europe but I'm not completely sure of that. I know that I can't find a 'county of Dom' anywhere.
I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me.

Well I think the first one is Düngenheim now in Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany. From 1794 to 1815 it was under French rule apparently and so there must still have been some lingering French culture there later in the century.

How about Cragerlagh?
More likely - Creevyloughgare - goes with the pronunciation.
