Sorry, I deleted the original message. It concerned a specific townland on the Longford-Leitrim border. I saw similar changes described - ie townlands changing parishes, etc. - in the Ornance Survey notes carried out by the British Army Ornance in the first half of the 19th century. In my case, they were for Co. Fermanagh, but you'll certainly find the same things in the Survey for your parishes between Co Longford and Co. Leitrim. It gave a brief history of the parish and recent changes in homeland. It also describes the land, the local customs, names prominent gentry, etc. I only have copies for 2 parishes in Fermanagh, so I can't help specifically. Tom
