I agree, Prue. I thought it looked like Drummond but, knowing nothing about Armagh, I Googled and there are two Townlands called Drummond but no parish. Do you think they made a mistake  :-\

Hi Harriet

As I said, I'm not familiar with Armagh,  but this is what I found when I Googled:

In Tynan:

In Loughgilly:

Maybe one of the Irish members might clarify for you.

Gnu is correct that there are two townlands in Armagh named Drummond in different civil parishes. You can see for the map at this link that the parishes of
Loughgilly and Tynan are not near each other.
