Found this, the books are £10:50 but well worth it if your researing one of the names towns, I got the one for Kinsale and it does have all the information mentioned on the website (the 1901 &1911 census only have the names of the all family members but gives a good place to start). So I give it a thumbs up.

Irish Genealogy website. Derry Genealogy Centre is now closed (with no date set to reopen) but this site is a good (although not complete) index for Co. Derry records but there are some serious errors here like Agherton burials being listed twice- under Agherton and Aghadowey.
