Alice, You have to remember that the www.seanruad.com townland index as townlands were spelled in the 1851 census. There are two other townland indices for two other years. It is not uncommon for the enumerator to occasionally misspell a townland name. In 1901 my Macs townland was written "LAcarrow Lower" and in 1911 it was written "LEcarrow Lower", so mistakes do happen. In 1851 the townland index has it as Lecarrow Lower. However, for the land revisions records, the Irish names of the townlands are used. You really just have to know what the name is, or you need to be very creative. Lecarrow Lower becomes Laccaroe, and Cloontyconnaught becomes Cloutha, Clonty, and finally Clounty as it is known today. Also, town names are completely capitalized and written with a T at end, e.g.: "Feakle" (townland) and "FEAKLE T." (town). Sometimes Bally or Balli is spelled different so if you select "Starts with" and only type Ball and select the county or PLU you will get a list of all and will more than likely see your townland of interest.
