Dear Susan and List The Ordnance Survey of Ireland is done every few years but the set of maps I am talking about were done in the 1830s. The National Archives of Canada has a complete set and is licensed to make copies. I don't know the scale off hand. The NAC could tell you. It is very detailed - right down to each field, path and house. If you ask for a map which includes a particular townland, they look it up in their index and make the copy or copies. I have an account at the NAC so the charges are taken from that. I'm not sure how they would handle a single request. It is not apparent from their otherwise good web site that they offer this service. You just have to know. You can make your requests my mail or email. Within Canada, they will call you if they need help locating the area you want. A very nice French Canadian man has called me in Calgary and we struggle together with those Celtic or mangledCeltic place names.
