Kovensky Province Kovn-Ugolya

My grandfather's passport was issued in the 3rd day of 1899 in Kovensky
Province, Kovn-Ugolya city. (it was translated by a reciently by a Russian
student).
I think this may be Kovno Province and city. Maybe a Russian or Polish
spelling. Please help with the location of this place. Thank you.

Hello Richard,

I would like to help you with your search. The translation does not seem to make too much sense. Would you by any chance be able to provide a scan of the place name?

Kind regards

Sabine
