Garvagh Church Visitation Lists
Itineraries
According to the OS Memoirs, Rev. James Brown lived at Carrowreagh so one could expect him to set out daily from there to visit his parishioners. At least some of the Visitation lists are set out in what would appear to be visitation order and they do form a sensible route where townlands are definitely known. So where townlands are in doubt, the geographical location may be guessed from where they occur in the sequence.
This page is an attempt to list the townlands in day by day visiting sequence and it is successful in helping locate several of the otherwise un-locatable townlands.
It is interesting to place these townlands, and since families mixed locally and spread slowly outwards. Locating places can help guess relationships.
Most of the places mentioned in the Visitation lists can be located on modern 1:50,000 First series OS maps of the area and have a map reference C 89 18, but there are some which don't occur on the modern map but that I have located on a 1inch 3rd series map dated 1976 (scale 1:63,360) and have a map reference C 857153.
