Last year, while on an Ulster Historical Foundation
Genealogy course, I ‘found’ a wonderful book of bound maps of Newtownstewart &
the surrounding area in PRONI.
‘Maps of the Manor of Newtownstewart, in the parish of
Ardstraw and County of Tyrone, the estate of Daniel Baird, Esquire. Surveyed by
R. H. Nolan & Co. 1852’
The maps are beautifully hand-drawn and coloured. Each
house in the town is numbered, with an index that tells us who was living in
each dwelling place in 1852.
Names of interest / potential interest in the town for my
family tree are:
