Townlands in the 1800s COMPLETED thank you Heywood & Shane

[artisann]

I have a marriage cert for for 1895 which states the bride came from 'Bridgetown' Fuerty, Roscommon, other people I am also researching ( same names etc) on the 1901/1911 census say the lived at 'Cooly, Fuerty. Roscommon, as I am not sure about Parishes/Townlands can I assume I have the correct family.

Can anyone help please
Thank you in advance for reading this

Hello,

It certainly looks possible.

Bridgetown is mentioned here  with the photograph of Castlecoote House.

If you look for Castlecoote House on a map, Cooly is very close by.

I looked for Bridgetown earlier - and couldn't find it, your clues solved it...

It's not a townland - looks like it's a village across the river from Castlecoote, and it's in the townland of Cooly - see :

Shane..prob a silly question ....but is there a way I can save that link showing where Bridgetown /Cooly is so I can add it to my tree, or is that not allowed.
Many thanks again

here's the raw link

   http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,580966,762861,6,7

if you save that as a reference, you can use that to bring you back to that exact location, and version of  the map.

you could just note that "Bridge town" was in the townland of Cooly. (Fuerty is the civil parish)
