The www.leitrim-roscommon.com website is very handy for pinpointing where exactly the townland of your ancestors is located.

The Catholic Parish of "Croghan" (Diocese of Elphin) today, is an amalgamation of two smaller parishes "Killukin" and "Killummod", aka "Killukin-Killummod". 

It is patricularly helpful in identifying whether a townland sits on the boarder of another parish (meaning you should not ignore a search there also). WIth this at hand, you can make a lot more sense of the Catholic Parish Registers, which began in 1811 here. 

Unfortunatley the Catholic Parish registers did not record the townland address of couples EXCEPT for a small window during the periods from May 1815 up to Sep 1816 (BAPTISMS only) and from Jan 1829 until June 1833  (MARRIAGES only - but good for cross referencing against Tithe Applotment Records).
