• Hi There

   

  The oldest records you can search online are the TITHE APPLOTMENTS (1823-37)

  http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?s...

  (Search by name or Browse by townland)

   

   

  Then there are the Griffiths Valuations (1850's), where you can locate the townland of origin.

  More recent records are the 1901 and 1911 Census

  Some townlands to consider near Cong would be Clonbur,  Cross, Ballinrobe, The Neale.  (East of Cong as you mention would be Cross, Shrule, Headford, )

  I come from West Mayo, but someone else maybe able to supply more information about the local area.

   

  Good luck with your research, feel free to ask/email me if you have any difficulty with the above sites
