This series of parish accounts was commissioned in the 1830s to accompany the new Ordnance Survey maps. The project was dropped with only Ulster and fragments of the south completed.The memoirs contained information which the maps could not contain. They document the landscape and situation, buildings, land-holdings and population, employment and livelihood of the parishes. The surveyors recorded the habits of the people, their food, drink, dress and customs. Details of ruined churches, prehistoric monuments and standing stones were included. The memoirs for parishes in counties Londonderry and Antrim also record the names of people known to have emigrated from the community in the previous few years. The majority are cited as having gone to Canada, though many migrated from there to the United States. The memoirs provide much more detailed information of the daily life of its inhabitants than any census could hope to do. Previously sold for $24.95 to $28.50. We will stop selling them when our current stock is gone. County Antrim
