Where is "Flynn" in Ireland

[obdavies]

I have a close relative, Michael O'Hara, in the 1871 UK census that gives his birthplace as "Flynn, Ireland". I am unable to identify which geographical part of Ireland that is. Can anyone help.

If it would help anyone to view the census return he is Michael O'Hara b.1841 with his wife Ellen b.1852 and their son Patrick aged 3 weeks, all living in Linthorpe, Middlesbrough.

Can anyone help identify where this place "Flynn" was, an internet search has revealed nothing.

Double checked actual census image and the first letter is unclear, it might be an 'F', a 'B' or even, at a stretch a 'G', and there is a 'Glynn' in Antrim, Northern Ireland.

Third line down from Michael's birthplace someone was born in Gt (Great) Yarmouth, and the first letter of Michael's birthplace doesn't look like the G of Great.

Have you looked through the towns and parishes listed for the individual counties on Genuki?

Remember that you're looking at the enumerator's interpretation of what the householder wrote (or told him), and not necessarily the correct spelling of the town.

Googling Flynn townland Ireland brings up Skehanieran(Flynn) a townland in Listowel Co Kerry

However O'hara does not seem to have been a particularly common name in co Kerry.
