Some of you might like this.
The BBC have been broadcasting a series of five 15 minute stories from Ireland. The story teller, or seanache, as I think they're called, is Eddie Lenihan who has been collecting the stories from around Ireland for thirty years. It's all about leprechauns, fairies and whitethorn bushes, and are brilliantly told. Thoroughly recommend them.

Hi Helen,
Since there are no censuses that have survived for the period in which you are interested, and civil registration had not begun at that time, church records are clearly you major option for finding information. There, you are in luck: there's no mystery about which LDS film will fill your needs. Templemichael and Ballymaccormack parishes were consolidated into the cathedral parish in Longford town back about 1830, so all the surviving records from either original parish are together on the same
Test.

I thought it seemed worth noting that we now have hit 200 pages of census online. Since
each page represents a townland, that gives us over 200 townlands from the 1901 census
online.
The newest ones are:
Clonbroney Parish - Barony of Granard
Leitrim
Listraghee
Prucklishtown
Vicarsfield Glebe
Yay!

Maureen,

Dear Pete,
I have long sought to find out what townland that Templemichael covers.
My OATES g.g.grandparents records I have from Templemichael in the 1840's and I could not find the town to look for records or census, I have found similar names and ages in Granard but no proof that they are connected.
I live in Massachusetts also but not out where you are.
Thanks for info in your post.

Catherine - can you tell me anything about your James Kiernan's family from Longford? Do you know his siblings and parents names? I'm told that my great-grandfather, John Kiernan, born early 1800's, came from Longford He married Ellen McDanial.
They settled in Scrabby (Gowna) Co. Cavan where they farmed and raised their children.

Hi Agnes,
I transcribed Listraghee and it looks like you may have a point. The H in
Hannery is not in the style of a capital H but a lowercase h - but it does
look more like a h than an N. However the initial letter of Margaret's and
Mary's name is quite florid and it could be argued that it is a "n" with a
tail at the front if you see what I mean.
Myself, I think it looks like a "h" but having consulted the bible, ie
Leahy, he has them down as Nannery. So Nannery it is.
I'll send you the image shortly, i

Jeanne,
I intended the comment to apply only to Street/Streete. Some other parishes
are identical between both parish types, such as Abbeylara and Granard. In
other cases, civil parishes have been either combined or divided into RC
parishes, e.g. Killoe civil parish is divided into the RC parishes

Tom Kiernan at Granard was regarded as the local Historian
when I first met him in 1990 but, unfortunately, during my 1995 visit to
