CIVIL PARISHES OF THE PROVINCE OF ULSTER

This file is a list of Civil Parishes in the ancient Province of Ulster - the nine counties of Antrim, Armagh, Cavan, Donegal, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry, Monaghan, and Tyrone. The Parishes named are those used in the Ordnance Survey. They should not be confused with `Townlands` which are smaller units of land .There are some instances of Parishes of the same or similar name in different Counties and also Parishes that overlap today`s County borders.

Each Parish has within it anything from 10 to over 200 townlands. There are 60,462 townlands in all Ireland. The `Townland` varies in size from about 15 to 3000 acres and frequently got its name from some local characteristic, a hill, a bog, a church, etc It was the administrative unit until 1898 and, as such, it was the basis for tithes, taxes, census, Griffiths Valuation deeds and leases etc. Knowing the parish allows the researcher to focus then on the smaller unit and locate the exact place where their ancestors lived.

There are Parish Maps and schedules of townlands at  the Ulster Historical Foundation / Ulster Genealogical and Historical Guild site at  www.ancestryireland.com
