I'm Searching for Michael Higgins born 1808 somewhere in Ireland, he married Johannah Brady around 1833. He and Johannah left Ireland for Canada, probably as newlyweds. Earliest records found in Canada, are land lease records for the year of 1834 in Sandwich East Ontario Canada. Also have a Thomas Higgins living very close to Michael, could be his younger brother.

my great grandparents both came from somewhere in longford county. one in 1852 the other 1856. I would appreciate some guidance about searching for their birth town. I understand that there is a 1854 griffith valuation for this county. Are the Birth years 1839 and 1840 only by town or is there a county index. thank you patricia
Richard,
noticed your reference to Street, and the various names
which you are researching, as per your message below and since
some of these are inter-connected, through marriage etc., with my
Mahady/Mahedy Families decided to send you some such details.
Street is abt. 2 Miles, and in a central position, from both Boherquille
& Rathowen, where a fair number of my Mahady/Mahedy Families
were residing at that time, with some from Boherquille shown below.
Should you find any such connection with any of your own Families,
then please let me know, as I have extensive Records pertaining to
Longford, as per URL below, and we may provide mutual benefits.

Just added the 1901 census of
Canal Harbour in Templemichael Parish.
Ards and Ballyknock in Kilcommock (Moydow Barony)
Also new - Edenmore in Killoe Parish. This is a new Parish done being worked
on by Andy Anderson. I know some of you have asked about Killoe.
We are very glad to have our listmembers helping by doing their own areas. I
know another of our transcribers has ordered her own film to work from. With
help like this, we may just get the entire Longford census for 1901 online!
To view go to:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~irllog/
Click on CENSUS from the menu.
Then 1901 census transcriptions.
All the best,

Joe at jfbeglan(a)qis.net writes:
<< My question is how can I find an actual MAP (not a list) of the Townlands
in both Longford and Cavan. >>
Joe,
I think you have two general options. The OSI Discovery maps identify nearly
all of the townlands, by placing the name of the townland close to the center
of its coverage on the map....... but the specific, individual townland
boundaries are not shown (not enough room on the maps !!). But these maps are
useful for determining which townlands are adjacent to which, and approximate
distances between townlands. In my case, I have outlined the civil parish
boundaries on all of my Discovery maps by projecting transparencies of the civil
parish maps (from Mitchell's "New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland") onto the Disc.
maps and outlining the parishes with a highlighter. For sources of these maps,
just Google > Discovery Maps Ireland < and you'll get plenty of hits.
I've always gotten my maps from Dublin, but many in the U.S. have used the
IGSI in Minneapolis/St. Paul and have been pleased with the service. There are
many other suppliers. However, the websites all seem to be seriously out of
date, and the coverage of certain maps (especially in your Cavan area) is now
different. I have known for several years that some completely new maps had
been printed, but none of the bookstores in the U.S. knew about them....... I've
been asking at the Tourist Office shop at Shannon airport every year (I never
go to Dublin, so I can't say about the airport there), and they don't know
what I'm talking about. So I've had to rely on the old reliable Ordnance Survey
in Dublin for the most recent maps. These Disc. maps are 1:50,000, or about 1
1/4 inches per mile.
If you are interested in the townlands and their boundaries, overlayed with
most of the roads, streams and railway lines, etc. - then the Townland Index
maps would be your choice. Whereas the Discovery maps will occasionally combine
a Townland Upper with a Townland Lower into a simple Townland name on the map
- often for reasons of space. The TI maps don't compromise that way, and all
of the townlands are shown. It gets a bit messy when it comes to townlands
comprising cities (Limerick City is nearly unreadable), and the fact that the
map copies are from re-drawings at least 50 or 60 years ago, which in turn were
probably re-drawings, etc........ You get the idea. But I still wouldn't be
without them. The TI maps are 1 inch to the mile scale. For coverage of Co.
Longford, you'd need 4 of the TI maps and for Cavan, 5 of them.
Longford is covered by 4 Discovery maps, but for the three civil parishes you
mentioned, only maps 34 and 41 would be required. Cavan is a different
matter altogether. When these Discovery maps were first being issued (I'd guess
about 1993), the Northern Ireland (OSNI) maps (using the National Grid, which
standardizes coverage across the border) for their part of the island had
already been published in their earlier Discoverer Series, which included large
parts of the border counties from the Republic. So OSI decided to publish only
the remaining maps for the Republic, and deal with the "Northern border problem"
in the future.
The future is now. Since 1999, the OS in Dublin has issued it's own map 26,
a new map 27A (with different coverage from the OSNI Discoverer map 27), and
two new maps, 28A and 28B, to cover the northern and central parts of Co.
Monaghan. If you want Discovery map coverage for Co. Cavan, you would need maps
26, 27A and 28A from some source, as well as map 35 and map 34 (34 is the same
as for Longford).
None of these maps are cheap. The TI maps are probably 9 or 10 dollars each
(with the current poor exchange rate) and the Discovery maps could be as much
as $12 each. Plus postage, etc. If you have any more questions, drop me a
line.

I'm somewhat accustomed to surfing the web but new to this website.
My question is how can I find an actual MAP (not a list) of the
Townlands in both Longford and Cavan.
Townlands are named in the lists of Baronies, Civil Parishes, and Poor
Law Unions for each county. But lists do not have the visual location
identity provided by a map. I can find few maps of townlands for
Longford, none of which include my research target area of Grenard,
Street and Abbeylara.
Does anyone know if townland maps exist for these 3 parishes? And if
so, how can I find or obtain them?
I have a similar problem for townlands in Cavan.

I came across a couple of webpages that were new or new to me today.
Boston College has put the "Missing Friends" database online at:
http://infowanted.bc.edu/
Also new is an Irish Pension database online. This is not complete. As of now
it is just the northern counties, but it may be of interest as it grows.

The point no one is saying is "so what"?
I have all the books and a database of 80,000 + names in chelsea revere and
winthrop. I research denning dever cogan carroll mchugh malone. So you find a
denning. lets say
12 nov 1853 In search of Patrick DENNING from Pullboy St.,Navan [Co.Meath]
when last heard from [3 yrs ago] was in Plattsburg ,N.Y. Any information will be
thankfully recieved by by his cousin Patrick DENNING ,Oswego,N.Y.-
and you are looking for a patrick "WOW I FOUND MY HIT" even the new poster on
George W. IN N.Y. today could get excited about this . but what does it say?
that the patrick who was in meath is thought to have been in Plattsburg 3 yrs
ago. Which patrick? I have 31 just in my database?
The best story to get this point across is a women wrote the clerk of
chelsea . asking for the birth certificate for James Denning born between 1878
and 1883.The clerk wrote back which one we have seven of them.I have 3000 mass
dennings at least 2200 are from chelsea. And you find a Patrick or a James who
is being looked for by his brother john and sisters margaret catherine and
mary.
Good luck every pat or james has a brother john and sisters margaret
catherine and mary.
just be careful before you jump on something that looks like your answer to a
prayer
Btw i searched denning and didnt get the hits i knew were there . the search
engine missed them

Good morning:
There are at 12 complete versions of the this effort in Ireland.
Q: How many volumes are there in these complete sets?
Q: How are the cemeteries listed in these sets?
Queens University of Belfast does not respond to inter-University loans with
the University of Toronto here in Canada, so is there any way someone in
North America can look at these sets or portions thereof without having to
come to Ireland??
