County Derry townland help
« on: Wednesday 29 January 25 11:19 GMT (UK) »
hi - I'm not able to find the townland listed in the attached image ("Aghammeolla"; 1831 Census) on Townland.ie, John Grenham's place name search (with wildcards), or Google. Can anyone clarify what this townland is? 

Thanks in advance.

According to Bill Macafee's website and his 1831 Census Returns for the County of Londonderry, Aghammeolla was the former name for The Creagh townland, between Toome and Castledawson.

fantastic - thank you.

Not only do I have the townland name now - which I never would have worked out, Bill Macafee's work is entirely new to me. thank you sharing his Census spreadsheet, too.
