| ARMAGH | |
| Armagh - Civil Parishes of County Armagh (See also maps of Creggan & Lisnadill Parishes beneath for more details) | September 28, 2004 |
| Oliver Family traces in Co. Armagh I have put together a map showing all the known townlands where OLIVER family members left traces, whether in leases, or BMD records. Beneath the map, is a ten page chart organized alphabetically by townland with a brief description of the information. The accuracy is only as good as the sources, and they are many and varied. | December 4, 2006 |
| Creggan Parish - Map of Townlands This is a parish in Co. Armagh. I have added pertinent family links. | September 30, 2004 |
| Killynure, Lisnadill Parish, Co. Armagh This is Townland in Co. Armagh where many of the OLIVERS, JACKSONS & BROWNS all lived from the late 1700s-mid 1900s. The family house still stands, though family left decades ago. Updated. | December 5, 2004 March 31, 2010 |
| Liscalgot, Creggan Parish, Co. Armagh.Liscalgot is a townland with 220 acres within its boundaries and is situated 2-3 km. east of Crossmaglen, just south of Creggan Church (one can walk there by way of a path behind the church). | June 29, 2006 May 12, 2010 |
| Lisnadill Parish - Map of Townlands This is a parish in Co. Armagh. I have added pertinent family links. | July 1, 2004 |
| Tullymore & Umgola, Parish of Armagh, County Armagh There are a range of OLIVER family connections here that shed a great deal of light on the ancestors of Eliza OLIVER, mother of Sir Thomas JACKSON. | December 1, 2006 |
| Woodvale & JOHNSTONs detective work Recent deeds involving the JOHNSTONs of Woodvale, Co. Armagh prompted me to try to assemble all that I know (thereby also displaying my ignorance too!) about these people and this place. | October 4, 2009 |
| CAVAN | |
| I have just completed a number of interrelated pages concerning early property holdings in Co. Cavan. Firstly, there is the list that Coote relicated from Pynnar on lands in 1618-1619. Secondly, a page where I make a stab at following the older place names into what they are more frequently known as today. Thirdly, early sightings of JACKSONs in Co. Cavan. Finally, a list of the proprietors in Co. Cavan in 1802 - which includes one lone JACKSON. | May 20, 2010 |
| DOWN | |
| Ardglass. In time, I will get a page up that will include several photos and family tales relating to Ardglass. For now, there is only the story of a family sundial that relates to Ringfad. | January 29, 2009 |
| LOUTH | |
| Louth Co. - Assorted family There are various inter-related families living in Co. Louth who are recorded in the Griffiths Valuations. I have focused here on COULTER, BRADFORD, JACKSON & DICKIE. | July 1, 2009 |
| Annaghavackey is a townland of 369 acres in the Parish of Creggan, Co. Louth. In the 1854 Griffiths valuation, it seems that most of the townland is owned and leased to people who are related (DICKIE, BAILIE, BRADFORD, OLIVER). The total value was £283 1 0 in 1854. It is bordered on the east by Cavananore and Carrickastuck, on the south by Clonaleenaghan, to the west by Shanmullagh and on the north by Sheelagh and Tawnamore. Map links added & page reorganized. | September 30, 2009 October 1, 2009 |
| Carnbeg Three maps are of special interest here: 1737, 1754 and 1900. They show a continuity of family interest in the lands of Carnbeg. | August 22, 2008 |
| Carrickistuck is a townland of 229 acres in the Parish of Philipstown. At the time of the 1740 Census, it was in the Parish of Castletown (NOTE: I do not know when the Parish boundaries and/or names changed). On its north eastern border is the river of Castletown, on the south-east, the townland of Philipstown; on the south, Barronstown, to the west Clonaleenan and Annaghvacky and to the north-west, Cavananore. The families connected to these lands also had significant business and family connections with people living in these neighbouring townlands | October 8, 2009 |
| Cavananore This townland started with the COULTER family, passed to the BRADFORD family and thence to Sir Thomas JACKSON Updated. | November 30, 2003 March 30, 2010 |
| MONAGHAN | |
| Aghnamullen, Co. Monaghan - a map with tables referencing townlands This is a large set of tables - possibly slow loading. It is also a work in progress | October 22, 2005 |
| Cordevlish "A Map
of Cordevlish in the Parish of Aughnamullan, Barony of Cremoran & County
of Monaghan belonging to Miss Elizabeth Breakey, surveys in 1781 by Jn Bruster"
This map is of particular interest because of its information about the
Breakey family conection. Elizabeth Breakey would have been aged 23 at the
time of this map, the year of her marriage to Thomas Bradford. Note in the
second part, the lands tenanted by John Breakey. This is a slow loading page which I intend to fix when I develop the skills to merge the two scans to create a single map. Until then, please bear with me. |

| Laragh, Co. Monaghan There are several leases involving the OLIVER family and the townlands of Laragh & Creevy. I expect to put it all together in the next week or so and then to add a link for the explanations.It may also be that it will be another bit of the puzzle that links the JACKSONs of Urcher with the JACKSONs of Ballybay. This has long been a mystery. | December 9, 2006 |
| Monaghan - Griffiths - Selected Townlands My intention is to add more townlands and parishes to this chart as I work my way through deeds that this kind of table helps to illuminate. | July 6, 2009 |
| Monaghan Co. - OLIVERs The OLIVERs who were in the linen industry held a number of leases in Monaghan from the mid-1700s until the mid-1800s. This chart helps to situate some of the mid-1800s OLIVERs. | July 1, 2009 |
| MISC | |
| Place Names of Note in Ireland This an alphabetical listing of Townlands and place names of interest. It is how I started ordering the information but by now it is getting so cumbersome that I don't plan to maintain it. Rather, I will be laddering my information into the page beneath: Irish Counties matched with Family Names. Or, one can go directly to the specific Townlands beneath for more detailed family information - as I collate the data and get their pages up. This page is long outdated - I have not kept it up since the information is elsewhere on the site. May 20, 2010 | June 24, 2003 |
| Irish Counties matched with Family Names I have listed all the counties with the townlands of interest and the surnames of the appropriate families indicated. This page is long outdated - I have not kept it up since the information is elsewhere on the site. May 20, 2010 | October 15, 2004 |
