In
the table below you will find case studies of a number
of families from Co. Londonderry and North Antrim.
Clicking on any of the Co. Londonderry links in the
table below will open a PDF file in a separate window
or tab. Each of the four North Antrim studies will
open as a webpage in a separate window or tab. I have
also included extracts from the Diary
of Abraham James Hopkins Moody who lived in Church
Sreet, Coleraine from 1853 to 1899 [PDF file].

Note
that I have also included material that I produced
for a talk that I gave to Ballynascreen Historical
Society in 2009 on researching townlands in Ballynascreen
parish. The townlands of Drumderg,
Dunmurry and Glebe were chosen as exemplars.

Note also that these Excel files often contain details
of some of the surrounding townlands. For reasons
of size, there is no Excel file for Craigs.

There
is also an 1851 Census for Craigs -This Excel
or PDF
database will provide details on the head of each
household enumerated in 1851, including the number
of the house in the census. You can then go online
with the house number and there you will find details
of all individuals present in the house on the night
of the census.
For
those of you interested in the Glens of Antrim region,
you will find information on some families and localities
at the Clachan
Project within the Glens
of Antrim Historical Society website.
Remember
that if you have difficulty reading any of the 6 Inch
townland maps [except for the townlands of Drumadreen
and Lisbunny in Co. Londonderry ] you can get a better
copy at askaboutireland.ie
[Griffith's Valuation]. If you are not sure of
what to do, when you get there - read
this. Note also that the maps for the Ballymena
area on the askaboutireland.ie website are difficult
to read, and parts of many townlands are only covered
by OS maps which do not demarcate the boundaries of
holdings and do not include the numbers and lettering
from the printed valuation.Unfortunately there are
no large scale town maps on askaboutireland.ie so
I had to use the copies of the town maps that are
held in PRONI. The town maps [and the rural townland
maps] have been reproduced here with the kind permission
of the Deputy Keeper of Records, Public Record Office
of Northern Ireland.
