I am trying to identify the townlands listed in an Index to Wills, Diocese
of Raphoe, 1884-1858. I have managed to translate some of the Townlands to
the current Parishes. For instance:

Robert Paterson 1758 Townland Listed: Rosnakill (Rossnakill) =
Parish: Clondavaddog County Donegal.

I have used townland listings from the Donegal Genealogical Websights and
from PRONI but there are some townland listings that I cannot connect to
parishes (probably because of the spelling and my limited knowledge of the
townlands).

1709: Carigines = ? parish
1714: Cashends = ? parish
1717: Lagnehury = ? parish
1755: Dowbalah = ? parish
1767: Castleshanahan = ? parish
1797: Ballylands = ? parish
1819: Ferhomen = ? parish

I would appreciate any help, partial or full.
