Checking the year for a Griffith's valuation and location of a baptism in Mayo

Thanks for any help. On two questions

 

I'm checking on the year the Griffith's Valuation surveyed Derrindaffderg, a townland in County Mayo. It's near Tourmakady. The actual sheet is available at this URL

Griffith's Valuation Viewer (askaboutireland.ie)

 

Also checking the actual church/chapel for the baptism of my great-grandmother Anne Kerrigan? Her baptismal record is attached.

 

Appreciate your help

Margot,

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

As to the Burriscarra, Tuam response. Where exactly is that church/chapel? I'd like to see if I can find a photo of it.

Regards

 

Mike

In the Register NL site where I found it, the main page shows............see below.
Burriscarra would be the Parish at that time.      All the little Parishes are in the list, these  would been know to locals but after some time all came under Burriscarra.    Someone may correct me.

Church is either Church of Ireland or Roman Catholic. A chapel is a smaller version which is not a Church,  may be a meeting room where they have a nonconformist service. 
 

Burriscarra
