    3. Please pardon the multiple posts, but I have a search requirement that seems to cross the Cavan/Meath county line. I'm researching Mary McGaughran. Family history has her born in 1835, in Oldcastle, County Meath. A search of Griffiths (1848-1864) shows no McGaughran in that townland, but a cashe of them in Cavan (Kilmore, Ballintemple and Scrabby Civil Parish.) I have no record of the townland, for the Griffith findings. So, I'm thinking that perhaps civil parish lines changes between 1835 and 1848/1864 (I don't know the exact years of the Cavan/Meath valuation), family history is just plain wrong, being Catholic Oldcastle was where she worshipped/has BDM info or she has some other reason for the claim. Further, I have no idea if the family history refers to Oldcastle Town or civil parish. In other words, I have no clue. Does someone out there have: - Historical info on border changes? - Detail maps, including townland and Catholic church locations for the civil parishes sited? - Maybe some other suggestion? Thanx, Paul
