Ardea

Ardea Civil Parish is located in the north of county Laois and borders on County Offaly (aka King's county) and it is not described in Lewis Topographical Dictionary of Ireland in 1837.

It is listed as being in the Barony of Portnahinch and the Poor Law Union of Mountmellick in the 1851 Townlands & Parishes of Ireland and there are returns for the Griffiths Primary Valuation of this parish in 1850.

However, Mountmellick town is listed as being part of the civil parishes of Coolbanagher and Rosenallis in 1837, and then as part of Ardea civil parish in the Griffiths and the 1901 census
