See query below
Check out:

You can also visit your local LDS (Mormon) Family History Center and check
out their computerized, microfiched and microfilmed records. It is open to
all and they have knowledgeable volunteers to help you. As I understand it,
you can request any further information on up to 6-8 entries from the IGI
index (which often show registration districts, as opposed to townlands) for
a total of only a couple dollars.

Another resource -- There are also a core of volunteers from all walks of
life involved in providing Ireland and UK databases, interesting snippets
from old newspapers, etc.:

I have been enjoying excerpts from the "Liverpool Echo." As you know, for
many Irish Liverpool was a stepping-stone in their journey, but for many
other Irish, they didn't have the means (or strength) to go any further.

IreAtlas is indespensible. If you are unsure of the correct spelling of a
townland, you can often key in a combination of letters into the townland
database - i.e. bally or drum - and it should bring up all townlands
containing that sequence of letters no matter where they appears in the
placename. If you know the county be sure to modify it so fewer "hits" come
up.
