Not pedantic at all - correctness requires us to tease out all the finer
details. In OSM being pedantic is a virtue ;-)

Townlands in separate civil parishes are still legally townlands in their
own right:

see

You can also check the 1911 supplement to see if there were any subsequent
changes.

In the case of baronies, as they were not changed as townland boundaries
changed  there are cases where  the boundary will just go through the
middle of a townland though.
