Townlands, Parishes, etc.
Counties are made up of parishes and parishes are made up of a group of townlands. If you are doing any research in Ireland these divisions become extremely important.
For further information:

To find townlands and parishes in Ireland: www.seanruad.com
Be sure to change default setting from 'exact match' to search for part of a word.

This site can be hard to use at first and not complete for everywhere in Down but well worth persisting to see if the area you are interested in is included.

Dual Maps display two maps side-by-side for single location (Google Maps + Microsoft Virtual Earth Maps). Also includes new Google Street View option to view ground level imagery of Belfast.
