Frank, You might be better off simply searching under Tramore. Townlands are tiny, a couple of fields maybe and may not mean anything to locals etc Having the word Town in Townland is actually very misleading. Sometimes the townland name gets carried over to the name of an entire area but more often than not people living in an area will not know the names of the townlands around them.
