TOWNLANDS

[MYRIAM SCOTT]

Trying to get an idea of Cavan Townland in relation to Mohill how far etc. Also a place called Eslin, I know there was a school there. Is Eslin another Townland or a place in the Townland of Cavan? My g.g.grandparents taught at the Eslin school 1860's and were living in Main St. Mohill when 1901 census was taken. I believe they leased a property in Cavan, I believe this to be Cavan Townland. Any help appreciated.

Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what is meant<br>by a "townland". I've been checking this site<br>as my children's father's family came from the parish of Mohill<br>in COunty Leitrim. When I checked Leitrim<br>I found all these townlands. Would someone please tell me what is meant by this designation?<br>Many thanks.

My father's family (cousins) lived in Mohill during your time in question. Their names were Finnigans.
