Hello John.
I cannot find Arigh anywhere; but here are some alternative names which just
MIGHT connect for you:
i. Annagh (and Moneysterlin) in the Magherafelt, Tobermore, Desertmartin
area.
ii. Annaghmore in the Magherafelt, Castledawson area.
iii. Ardagh in the Cookstown, The Loop, Salterstown area.
iv. Ardreagh in the Coleraine, Agivey, Aghadowey area.
v. Aughil in the Limavady, Magilligan, Benone area
vi. Aughlish in the Limavady, Feeny area.
vii. Aughrim in the Magherafelt, Ballymaguigan, Aghagaskin area
viii. Avish in the Limavady, Magilligan, Benone area; or
ix. Avish (yes, same spelling) in the Londonderry, Enagh, Lough Enagh area.

Other spelling possibilities might be starting with an "E", as in:
i. Edenreagh in the Magherafelt, Castledawson, Bellaghy area;
ii. Edenreagh Beg or Edenreagh More in the Londonderry, Eglinton, Lough
Enagh area
iii. Elagh More in the Londonderry, Shantallow, Liberties Lower area;
iv. Enagh in the Limavady, Rathbrady, Fruithill area; or
v. Enagh (same spelling) in the Londonderry, Enagh, Lough Enagh area; or
vi. Erganagh in the Coleraine, Kilrea, Bovedy area.

In choosing these options for you, I have looked at townland names in
running writing might have looked a bit like Arigh, and have had a
transcribing error etc.

Good Luck: ray in sydney

> Hello to all on the List
>
> I have a mystery with my great grandfather, John McLaughlin, on his death
certificate it states that he was born in a place called ARIGH. in Derry.
> I have been unable to identify a town or village that comes any where near
that spelling, the problem maybe that it was an abbreviation or when the
informant gave the information in Australia the government official he may
not have understood the Irish accent.
> John McLaughlin was born about 1855 and later emigrated to New Zealand and
Australia
> I would appreciate any help.
