    1. [CoTyIre] Townland for MARTIN family
    2. The closest townland that I can find for either civil parish of Longfield East or Longfield West is Coolkeeragh which is in Longfield East Civil Parish. That was in the Poor Law Union of Omagh; the adjacent civ. par. of Longfield West was in the PLU of Castlederg. You may want to try the Primary Valuation (a.k.a Griffith's) to see if any family members were still living there. I hope that's helpful.

He states that he emigrated to America on "St Patrick" in 1847. Another bank record gives his father as Thomas and his mother as Rose Mullins and states he emigrated in 1846--so I assume these are the records that you speak of. He has an earlier account--#704 which is referred to in a later record--and this account test book gives his townland of origin: Nat. Kulkeivagh(??), parish of Longfield, Co. Tyrone, came 5 yrs last Sept. on Ship St Patrick from Liverpool, father Thomas dead 14 yrs mother Rose Mullin living in Keilkervagh (??), 3 bro ??, Chas, Michael & 3 sisters Catherine, Ellen, & Ann single works on C Ferry for 3 yrs next July.
