Hi Jenni and Mike Although I was born and brought up in N. Ireland I'm no expert on Townlands and really it's not until you start doing your genealogy that, even as a local, you realise the complexity of the townlands and other land divisons that existed. My g grandfather was from Tullintrain and my g grandmother from Lyng (Ling), Londonderry. I am over 60 and had never heard of these names until I started researching. Last year I drove to the area and the local people, in Claudy, the nearest Town, were able to tell me where the areas were even though they aren't on a modern map. Townland Sites Jenni look at this page on Proni. http://www.proni.gov.uk/research/local/townland.htm a good rootsweb address is http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlcar2/Irish_Administrative_divisions.htm Fountain Hill Sites Jenni, this site mentions Fountain Hill http://www.countyderry.com/derry_heritage_derry.htm if you go to description number 18, The Craigavon Bridge. I know that relatives of mine lived at Lawrence Hill which was a very hilly road with large houses. Looking at a skatingboard website it states, <If you have a real death wish - try Fountain Hill and Moore Street off Spencer Road on the Waterside side of the bridge - DARE YA!!! > I've seen some entries in Griffiths Valuation listing Fountain Hill, Londonderry, as Clondermot Parish. Just google Fountain Hill and it will come up with quite a few sites. Sorry I can't be of more help, but don't feel alone, it can be a puzzle! Mike, I can't help with Boydstown. I know the townland names could be swallowed up and lost but not sure if a new one could be brought in with new inhabitants. Lena
