Hello, I am researching a Monaghan family, Owen McKenna and his wife Mary Kelly. They had a daughter Catherine in 1866. On the Irish civil registration of birth record it gives the registration district as Glaslough, the townland as Mullinderg. Checking in the 1851 Townlands book I only see a Mullanderg in the Civil Parish of Errigal Trough. Before that I looked on Google and came up with a Mullinderg/Emmyvale. I believe Emyvale is a Town. I don't understand the association of the name Emyvale with the "placename" Mullinderg. The civil parish for Emmyvale Town and townland is Donagh. There is a reference to the close proximity of the civil parish of Donagh to the Errigal Trough civil parish in the Northern part of Monaghan. Any help is appreciated to clarify this. Many thanks Nancy Lyons

They are all the one and same place! The Registration district varies from Civil parish etc..Glaslough and Emyvale are villages. Mullinderg isjust a townland, this could be a few fields etc but nothing else. Electoral areas, Poor Law Unions, Civil Parishes, Registration Districts all differ from each other as to where they marked out their boundaries on a map. County boundaries have been altered too over the years too. Parish maps altered to take in townlands from another parish. So, are your related to the Lyons' from Emyvale/Tedavnet/Donagh/Glaslough?? Basically, you are looking for the McKennas of Mullinderg! Of course the religion would be helpful as the where to start... Dave.

Hi Nancy, Couldn't resist looking. I can't see a "Mullinderg" but there is a "Mullanderg" in the Griffiths Valuation. Go to this website and search for surname "McKenna", first name "Ardel" and county "Monaghan": http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml I chose to look for "Ardel" McKenna so that it was easy to find the records. Once you see the results, you can see the "Original Page" that shows Mullanderg and all the listed residents - no Owen McKenna there, but may be listed under his father. You can also click to see map from that time period (1840s-1860s). Good luck.
