About 130 acres of it are in Monaghan, the rest in Tyrone....It is approx 1mile from Aughnacloy towards Monaghan and located beteen the N2 and the A28 roads. === Dave, I have no idea where you could have gotten this "information". Mullanderg is officially 141 acres, and every one of those acres is in a single body - well-inside the Monaghan border. Mullanderg is surrounded by other Monaghan townlands, and the nearest any part of Mullanderg is to the Tyrone border, is about a half-mile, going north through Moy or Mullynure townlands. Going ENE is only slightly farther, through Mullaghnahegny townland. You can verify this from the OS Townland Index maps, the Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan maps and from the Monaghan County Council planning maps (chose the six-inch map option), at: == http://193.178.1.178/Monaghan_gPlan/default.aspx?fn=04319 ==. Regarding "what's across the border" into Tyrone, the Discovery and Discoverer maps seem to show only the townland of Mulnahorn.....but I don't have any good maps or information on Tyrone or the other of the Six Counties as I have no interest in them. But the Townland Listings do not show a Mullanderg or any such townland name in Co. Tyrone. === or course their religion would be helpful! There's no point in looking for them in a C of I g/yard/church if they were RC and vice versa. === I think this depends on the years desired. This is a section of the Introduction to Brian Mitchell's "A Guide to Irish Churches and Graveyards": "Generally, Church of Ireland graveyards should be examined irrespective of an ancestor's religion. It was October 1829 before a Catholic cemetery opened in Dublin at Goldenbridge. Prior to the 1820's, owing to the operation of the Penal Laws, both Catholics and Protestants shared the same graveyards. And prior to the Burial Act of 1868, which permitted dissenting ministers to conduct burial services, the Church of Ireland held jurisdiction over funeral services for all Protestants. Right up to the mid-nineteenth century it is not uncommon to find Presbyterian ministers and Methodist preachers buried in a Church of Ireland cemetery."
