Noel Farrell from Longford published a book/let on Monaghan town "Exploring Family Origins in Monaghan Town" in 1998. He has also included Slater's Directory 1894; the 1937 Thom's Directory, the 1911 census, a list of 1881-1934 pubs in Monaghan town, the 1943/44 Elector's list and Griffiths evaluation. Plus an 1865 Monaghan map. For those interested I think this is still available, at least it was this year in shops in Dublin. Jane
