Question

The gentleman came to England in the late 19th century

Answer 1

Could be Briska in the civil parish of Kilcommon, depends what sort of document it was in.

Often people were illiterate and officials wrote down what they thought they heard.

Hi

Sorry never heard of this place but here is the Mayo website you could contact them and see if they ever heard of it, the name doesn't sound very Irish are you sure you have the right spelling
