There are lots of births for 792 Portadown Armagh it seems - must be a kind of code for an area? Lots of other areas have a number at the start also - check this out:

In England, the address was sometimes given for the Workhouse Infirmary instead of "Workhouse Infirmary"

Could this be the case here???

Can I suggest something - alter your heading to include 'Irish' or 'Ireland' - you need to attract attention of our Irish experts, and none have picked this up so far!

I might be inclined to change it to something like 'Irish help needed, new request' so it's obvious you still need help.
