You might find the historical maps on the PRONI website helpful:

There’s a whole set of maps of Tyrone (and the rest of Northern Ireland)
with the oldest dating to 1832. You can switch between them to compare the
changes through the years.



There’s a button for the map viewer tour on the top right hand side of the
screen. Probably worth starting with it. It explains what all the buttons
do.

Hello Susan,

The set of Co Donegal maps created by Bob Hilchey are unique to that
county only. Sadly, there is nothing remotely close to the detail they
contain elsewhere (and freely available online):
CIVIL PARISHES and TOWNLAND MAPS
And maps of BARONIES  and ECCLESLIASTICAL divisions, and additionally,
each parish map indicates which POOR LAW UNION they fall within. Bob
Hilchey’s maps are essential for Co. Donegal research.

As Jim advised, there is a complete set of free online parish maps
(indicating each townland) for Co. Tyrone on CTI, but they follow a
different format to that compiled by Bob Hilchey.

Gordon,

The maps on the Griffiths site are good, but they date from the 1870s. For
anyone interested in earlier maps the OS series on the PRONI site give more
options.

Sorry to hear that your ancestor's house has gone. That's quite common.
Apart from the obvious fact that many poor quality premises just
disintegrated, the other thing is that Ireland is not (as some seem to
hope) an open air museum. We aren't that sentimental about old houses and
if they are in the way, we knock them down. Modern farms require larger
barns and use bigger tractors. Greater space is required and redundant
buildings just get cleared away. Small damp thatched houses with an outside
toilet - however cute - aren't where we want to live. The only saving grace
is that most families take a photo of the old farmhouse before they
demolish it. Always ask if they have one of those. But if it was a
labourer's cottage, there probably won't be one.

These OS maps are great, Elwyn, but I generally use the Griffith maps 
from mid-19thC, which are probably based on the OS maps anyway, but are 
in colour!!! and one can ghost the old onto the modern maps with the 
slider. I also find them slightly easier to use.
