Hi All, There seems to be some confusion between designations of Civil Parish , RC Parish & Towland. This is sometimes confusing for new people. From a RC point of view it would be referred to as the The Longford Parish of Templemichael. In addition I believe the present Family Centre in longford was the site of a Chapel before ST. Mels was built. It could be that that the people could have been from Templemichael Glebe. Its hard to say. In additon from the Church of Ireland view-Templemichael in County Longford is part of the Ardagh Diocese. Which contains St. John's on Battery Road. I could be corrected perhaps David Leahy or Luke Baxter from Longford would be a good source to consider for these type of questions. On my website which isn't complete from a Townland point of view,one can click on the different designations PLU/BARONY/ in addition for some of the Civil Parishes you can click on them and the Townlands will be available.
