I have a copy of the townlands of the electoral divisions of Laois. Found them in a great book titled"Laois-an enviornmental History" by John Feehan of dept of Geoogy Trinity College Dublin I found this a few weeks ago at the Morman Family History Library in Salt Lake, Utah. if you give me a townland, I can give y ou an electoral division and then you can find land and property for the 1851-1871 census and probalby find your Irish relative on his land. This can be done via film from the LDS centers as they have all the land and property records for this time for Laois. Charlotte Smith
