Monaghan Townlands
« on: Friday 25 December 09 19:05 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone point me to a map of Mongahan townlands, specifically those of Donagh & Errigal Trough parishes?

The best map I've located is the Griffiths info at AskAboutIreland, but I was hoping for something easier to use.  Otherwise, all I've found are simple lists. 

Any help gratefully received.

The townland names and borders are shown on the maps at : OSI Select the Historic BW or Historic 25i options.

(the maps are down for maintenance until 28th Dec)

Have done a pile of research in this area as a lot of mine are buried in E Trough/Glennan/Donagh etc, who are you looking for?

Sorry but at the moment I only have C of England, C of Ire, Presbys with a sprinkling of Methodists in my database.

I have about 450 Hughes records for Donagh/Glaslough/E Trough area and haven't started on R C's. yet although I've been around Catholic g/yards I haven't logged them yet, even though I discovered a few of my C of I relatives buried in Catholic g/yards!

Hello again hallmark, just for the record, my husband's oldest known Irish ancestor was John Hughes born about 1801 in Donagh parish,Co. Monaghan and his wife was Sarah Ann Conlin b. abt 1802 in Ardboe, Co. Tyrone, Ireland.  They apparently married in Ireland and came to the US during the Potato Famine era with 8 children and settled in a place called "Irish Settlement" in Wayne County, Pennsylvania.  Today it is called Rock Lake, PA and John and Sarah's tombstones at St. Juliana's Church cemetery both proudly proclaim their native parish and county...If, by chance, you can ever find any further information on John and/or Sarah we'd love to hear from you.   Thank you kindly!  Pat
