Never having been to Ireland, I'm having a little trouble with geopolitical designations.  We've pretty well established that Rachel Henry, b. abt 1767, was the daughter of Matthew Henry and Jennie Long who lived at Flower Hill, a farm located on the outskirts of Dirtagh - the latter being a townland generally north of Limavady, east of Londonderry, west of Coleraine - and included in Aghanloo Parish.  She is also reported as having come from Newton, Limavady, Londonderry.  Is Newton a townland?  Does Newton embrace Dirtagh?  Will someone clarify the apparent contradictions?  DrHenry

The name was formerly changed by an act of Parliament about 1875 when the name LIMAVADY was used but it is still possible to find informal documents after this date which still referred to NEWTON, an abreviation of Newtownlimavady.
