Hello Clare,

One more question if I may. From this death registration would I be correct in thinking Killegney is the smallest land division and Clonroche the next and so on?

Thank you again for all the links and email addresses!

Dear Joyce

The smallest land division is actually the townland. These can actually be quite large or very small. Townlands make up parishes. Killegney is a civil parish and will be divided into townlands. In your case, Killegney is also the name of a townland:

Townland: Killegney
Parish: Killegney
Poor Law Union: Enniscorthy
County: Wexford

If you Google the 'Genealogy Toolkit' and 'land divisions' it will explain it very well, the link is out of order at the minute but should be up and running again soon.
