Lindsey, Here is a helpful website for finding townlands http://www.seanruad.com/. You will find Stonefort here but not Nigel. Also, there are several Mountainpark but no Martyn Park. Insofar as the Nigel townland is concerned it could well be a part of a townland name such as Do*negal* (emphasis mine).
