map: armagh, ireland 1895
This map of Armagh, Ireland is helpful to genealogists. Originally issued by P. W. Joyce in 1895, each county map in this series identifies towns, villages, railway lines and canals. In addition, the map shows the baronies in each county--even the location of a number of estates and “great houses”. These are exact reprints of the antique original lithographs.

researching your armagh ancestors, a practical guide for the family and local historian
Armagh, the smallest county in Northern Ireland, has a rich, colourful and even tempestuous history. War, famine and emigration over the last four centuries have all contributed to forming the distinctive character of its people. This history took a toll on much evidence remaining: many records were lost. But much survived to aid the family researcher and is accessible through the detailed catalogs and user-friendly searching aids in the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland. An exceptional feature of this book are the reference appendices, including a breakdown of administrative divisions listing some 1400 townlands and unofficial placenames which disappeared from official use after their standardization in the 1830s. Civil parish, barony and poor law union are given for each townland plus vital district electoral division details.
