Title: Longfield East
Post by: lindaluton on Thursday 01 September 11 21:41 BST (UK)

I was thinking of travelling to Dublin to view Longfield East R.C. parish  registers.

I can't find Longfield East in the National Library of Ireland catalogue, did it go under a different name then?

Longfield East is the civil parish - the RC parish is Langfield, which covers the civil parishes of Longfield East and Longfield West.

The NLI film references is Pos. 5765
The PRONI reference is MIC.1D/60    

These include baptisms and marriage back to 1846

It's listed as Langfield (Drumquin) on the NLI parish Index.
This film also include other parishes

Presumably the RC parish was based in the town of Drumquin, which is one the the towns shown in the list kingskerswell posted.

It's just over 9 miles west of Omagh - see : Omagh to Drumquin (http://www.google.ie/maps?saddr=omagh&daddr=Drumquin,+Omagh,+United+Kingdom&hl=en&sll=54.608055,-7.394445&sspn=0.209579,0.255432&geocode=FXEiQQMdnqKQ_ylZE3HECileSDHQ_eb-YLiAdw%3BFRRgQQMdRrSN_ynxJTs0MzNeSDGrK2Ylun7bPA&vpsrc=0&mra=ls&z=11)  (google maps)
