No problem Pat, just be aware that it could be Conlin/Conlan etc, they would most probably got married in Ardboe, as normally the marriage takes place in girl's parish!

For spelling, location, maps & history of each townland there is a book "Landscapes of South Ulster" which only covers the Clogher Diocese - this is the most comprehensive data available on Clogher Diocese Townland.  This book (now out of print) sells at £250 + as it is seen as a reference tool for Clogher Diocese.  When i purchased this book some years ago  it was still in print.  I send out copies of maps upon request.

There is only one way to find & understand the Townlands of Clogher Dioces (which includes all of County Monaghan) -  a book entitled 'Landscapes of South Ulster' - sadly out of print - I have a copy & will send you the Parish Maps you are searching.  My e-mail address can be found on all the Rootsweb, Ancestry & Genealogy.com websites - I cannot enter it here.

Thanks Jack for the map of Errigal Trough you sent & the one of Donagh that's on its way.   These are exactly what I was after, in that they show me the townlands in context & their spatial relationships with each other.  A simple list doesn't do that.

And thanks of course to all others who've tried to assist here.

OK I have the Parish maps of all of Clogher Diocese parishes by Patrick J. Duffy - these are extracted from Landscapes of South Ulster which includes a history of each Parish together with a map & a list of "equivalent" townlands - these are the alternative names given to some townlands - very important.

The only maps of Monaghan Townlands & those of Clogher Diocese are to be found in the book "Landscapes of South Ulster" by Patrick Duffy.   This book, sadly out of print now, is a MUST for researchers of the Monaghan Townlands, Parishes etc.  The maps are extremely accurate, show the towns, villages, church locations & the roads.  With each Parish map is a history of the Parish which often explains the origins of the Townland names & the "alternative" townland names, without which the data linked to Family names is irrelevant.  One of the most informative is the history of Donagh (or Glaslough) Parish which explains how land changed hands over the centuries & how many of the dominant families became less important.  Frequently battles or skirmishes decided the ownership of land so this book is an essential to those who really want to discover the history of their family.
