Mary; I don't know if they are still avaiable but years ago I got townland maps for areas just north of Loughguile. These were in the form of an outline of a parish with the townlands in patchwork within the outline. I got them from the local Mormon Family History Centre. - If you have a Centre near you you could ask about them. Alternatively, you try the PRONI site - last time I looked, quite a while ago, their TL maps were not all labelled. A large city library with a genealogy section might be worth a try also.

On the 1803 agricultural census I have found them living in Corkey and Balleyweany, in Loughghile , County Antrim, but have not been able to get any more specific locations. I was unable to locate any church records (RC) or specific sites where they lived. I am interested in at least seeing the general area. Does anyone have an idea of what would be the best resource for detailed townland maps (this is my first trip to Ireland). I have seen some websites that you can download historic maps from but I am wondering if I should wait and pick one up in Ireland. Any other ideas and suggestions would be welcomed. Sincerely, Mary Yamamoto

Mary, If you want to see the type of townland map Bob is talking about have a look at the following site - of course these are for Co. Down and not Co. Antrim. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/MAPS/CoDownParishes.htm Regards Alma ----- Original Message ----- From: "RJ Kane" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2010 2:48 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-ANTRIM] Historic townland maps > Mary; > > I don't know if they are still avaiable but years ago I got > townland maps for areas just north of Loughguile. > These were in the form of an outline of a parish with the > townlands in patchwork within the outline.
