As mapper of these and nearby parts I find that Colm Donoghues question raises more issues than the one he lists.
My prime source for the townlands was the GSGS3906 overlay in JOSM and at the time I had access to the 1901 Census index of townlands. The Boundary commission map. I notice that while they do not show the three Islands (Colt’s Island, Shennick’s Island and St Patrick’s Island), they do further south include Ireland’s Eye. In any case when adding the LEAs I paid no heed to their map as the maps in the report are clearly marked copyright Ordnance Survey Ireland / Government of Ireland and I believed I was therefore not allowed to include any data from them. Holmpatrick ED. In the General Register Office Report No 17 of May 1885,(National Library Ref A11972), the three islands are clearly listed as part of Holmpatrick Civil Parish, Holmpatrick ED Balrothery Poor Law Union etc. Maybe there was legislation since that? *Please if anyone knows of such legislation or of a newer or better definitive source of ED detail please do shout out loud*. LEA boundaries as on OSM. When I added these, the only way I knew was by making a relation comprised of the existing external pieces of the constituent Eds. Bit by bit, like a daisy chain. As a result I make the mistake of excluding the external bits. Not only did I miss the islands but also about 7 acres of a loose part of Jordanstown, ( the yellow spot on the west of the Fingal map), and ditto the loose 6 acres of Rallekaystown off the south edge. I will now correct my errors and add them next week unless somebody volunteers a better source of detail. Now some real good news, to add external boundaries of several areas as one, use John Kennedys brilliant new 2020 ‘select dissolved members’ plugin for Josm in the relation box menu. Thanks John.
