I am looking for a place called Rademond and a place called Contaghnaglar (in the county Down ?) because all of the other places I have like Boardmills, The Spa, Saintfield, etc. are in county Down aswell.
It is mentioned in LDS records as the birthplace and burialplace of several of my wifes ancestors.
I have searched high and low on the web and Irish maps, but I can't find it anywhere.
Is it possible it is become a part of another town, or is it maybe spelled wrong ?

If anyone knows about them I would be delighted to learn about where they are situated.

Best whishes for 2005,

I am pleased to see the reactions on my question, and to see both Radamane and Contaghnaglar are in Kilmore Parish and so at least they are real places or Parishes.
But what I would like to know is, of what town is Kilmore Parish part off, because I can't find it on my map.

Hope someone knows.

The town of Kilmore is the seat of the civil parish of Kilmore (which is contained within the Roman Catholic parish of Crossgar) and lies in the center of a triangle formed by the towns of Downpatrick (perhaps a city?), Ballynahinch and Killyleagh.

If you go to www.seanruad.com and choose "Down" from the County drop-down menu, enter "Kilmore" in the Civil Parish box and click-on "Submit", you'll get a list of all of the townlands and the town of Kilmore in the Parish. About 24 townlands as I recall.

This fits to the T with the rest of my data.
Her ancestors nearly all come from the surrounding places like Saintfield,
The Spa, Boardmills, Ballynahinch, Killyleagh and Downpatrick.
I have Crossgar on my map but any smaller towns or townships are not showen.
But now I can visualize the area where they all come from.

You have been a great help.
Thanks very much.
