Hi, I concur with Paddy. Treat each part as a separate townland and name it TownlandName (Barony) as is the traditional convention.
If necessary, the part-townlands could be joined as a relation(?) as TownlandName. Note that some townlands are not contiguous with themselves and there are enclaves and exclaves. :) Colm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
