Answer 2

If you go to http://www.seanruad.com and enter 'Londonderry' and civil parishes as your search terms, you will get a list of all parishes in Derry and can select the three largest yourself.

**edit** That's largest in area - if  you mean largest in terms of numbers of parishioners, the site I suggested will not help.

Answer 3

Hello Barbara,                                                                                          'London Derry' is a cathedral city and as such it will have a diocese office. and you will get every bit of information from the secretarys department there, they won't tell you anything like " I am so sorry, but that is secret information" all you have to do is telephone, and ask them. and you won't be disaapointed. they will give you more than just the top 3 parish sizes you are seeking, like I said all you have to do is ask, I would say you could be very sure that the Cathedral Parish is going to be the largest, andway good luck in your quest, and God Bless you too, Bye,.......Tony M
