Title: Derry, Cavan...is there such a parish within Cavan?
Post by: Jmama on Tuesday 18 August 15 19:48 BST (UK)

I have a birth date in 1817 for a Hannah McConkey and the tree owner who shares this relative says that she was born in Derry, Cavan. I am nor sure that such a listing exists or whether it is a name for Parish with Cavan. Her parents were William McConkey and Mary Murphy. Is there anyone that could help with Parish names in the area that I may contact?

Thank you kindly for your input and clarification on this Townland. I just didn't want to write all of Londonberry as well for Derry. I have a parish of Crosserlough in which to narrow my search.
 This site is such a valuable resource.
