Farranetra townland is in Clogher civil parish/Poor Law Union. See http://www.thecore.com/seanruad to find details of townlands in Ireland.

Thank you for your reply.  I know it is in Clogher but I was hoping somebody would be able to tell me exactly where in Co Tyrone it is.  I can't find it on any maps.

Regards,
Anne

There are townland maps for County Tyrone here- however, Clogher is in several sections and the maps are on page sideways and of poor quality making it difficult to find any place.

Clogher parish be seen here:

Within the parish, Farranetra is about half a mile to the west of Augher village, along the modern A4 road.  If you go to Griffiths Valuation (link below) and do a placename search for Farrenetra (note the e instead of a) and select map view, you should be able to find it (the slider in the top right hand corner switches you between old and modern maps):
