I've been tagging the townlands with the brackets included, this is based on what others have been mapping. I usually also add a placename in the center of the townland but do not include the (ED FOOBAR) on those.
A few more questions if nobody minds: 1. Why do townlands have ARP written underneath them? 2. How are people mapping EDs currently? I can see some ED boundaries but I find it hard enough even to see townland boundaries without trying to work out EDs. I don't see any names either. 3. I've seen some low-res maps for baronies, are there any other maps for this? 4. Are there maps for Civil Parishes? > Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 15:19:12 +0000 > From: donal.diam...@gmail.com > To: talk-ie@openstreetmap.org > Subject: Re: [OSM-talk-ie] FW: Sheet request > > Yes - a townland name is unique in each civil parish. > > The problem you'll see when you get to mapping civil parishes is that EDs > started to be used more in the 1901 and 1911 censuses so the paper trail > disappears. > > On the GSGS map you will see Townland FOO (ED BAR) and Townland FOO (ED > FOOBAR) to distingush different townlands with the same name. > > For both you should do name=FOO and maybe add a note=ED BAR until you get > to mapping the EDs themselves. > > D > > > > > On 20 January 2015 at 14:48, Dave Foley <daf...@outlook.ie> wrote: > > > Thanks for that, makes a lot more sense now.
