    A long shot, I know, but is there an online resource that shows the boundaries of parishes?

    A question of which parish a new house belongs in has arisen here (Armagh Diocese) and we can't find anywhere that shows boundaries. Local opinion is divided.

    Edit; My apologies, I should have said Roman Catholic parishes.

    Was talking to other locals here about where one address begins and another ends and there is no definite boundary agreement. A guy I used go to school with told me his bedroom is in one parish, while the kitchen is 'technically' in another.

    I've old local maps but they don't define where one area begins and another ends. Maybe try the Post Office, older postmen, the local library or historical society?

    Thanks but been there done that and those bodies don't go by Parish. Townlands won't suffice.

    NLI (National Library of Ireland) site

    Switch to 'Show Dioceses' mode. If you then zoom in, it shows the parishes in various dioceses.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    That's just a general map with no ordinance survey type map to detail the boundaries. It's also very very out of date and shows my own parish in the amalgamated parish it was over 40 years ago. But many hanks for trying,
