Kay,
If you have the correct spelling of the townland and hopefully the county
you are in good shape. If you do not have the correct spelling and/or the
county there is still hope. Go to www.seanruad.com and enter the name of the
townland and the county and submit the entry. The resulting display will
usually give you, as the last item on the right, the designation PLU (Poor
Law Union) which 99% of the time is the Registration District. If you are
not sure of the spelling of the townland or the townland cannot be found
input the first three, four or five letters and check the type of search, on
the right, as beginning of field, and you will get a listing of possible
townlands. It is then just a process of elimination to decide which one is
closest to yours and the end column will give you the PLU or Registration
District.
