Is there a way to identify which townlands are located in the RC parish of Tempo?

The Griffiths valuation of Ireland can show you a map of the Tempo area which shows the townland names close by of Tullynaglug, Edenmore,Demesne and Pubble. The R.C Chapel is marked along with the School, and other Churches.
Go to : http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_place_search_form.php and type in Tempo in the "enter a place name" box ,click start searching, four locations will come up.
Click on the 1850's map of the first one and a map will appear.
Move the slider at the top right of the map window,to the left. This will reveal the present day map,click on Tempo to centre it in the map, then move the slider to the right to reveal the 1850's map.( you can also move it halfway to have both maps merging).
You can then see the townland names and landmarks of the area.

http://www.thecore.com/seanruad/  is a very useful site for townland names.

Good luck
