Can anyone help me locate Toneban/ Tonybaun which I believe is/was near Knockmore, Co Mayo?

Also the exact location Glanduff which I believe is/ was near Foxford? I would like to find these on an old or modern map - so if anyone can direct me to a source of 19th Century Mayo maps that would be great.

Thank you

  • I suspect the townlands you are looking for are Tonybaun and Glendaduff. You can find both on Griffiths Valuation maps. Use the slider bar in the top right hand corner of the map screen to overlay a modern map on the 1850s map.
