Notes

A footnote to the 1851 Townlands Index (p.941) says "This new Parish is composed of the following 19 Townlands, viz.:", and goes on to list parts of the parishes of Banagher, Cumber Lower and Cumber Upper parishes. The 1851 Report for County Londonderry does not list Learmount, so the parish was created sometime between 1851 and the publication of the Index in 1861.
