Census Locations

This summer I would like to visit the sites where my Great-great grandfather, Thomas Condrey, resided in 1861 and 1871. He was a lead miner.

In 1861 he was living in Malew Pariish at Moneymooar. (The census taker proceeded from Silver Bourne to Cronkkvrack, Ballanank, Quirk's Hill, Ballachrink, Peel Roadside, Reheast, Wiggin, Ballamodabeg, Coughermoore, to Moneymooar, then went on to Grenaby, Kerrowmooar, Kerrowkill and Ballarobin. Can anyone help me pinpoint that location?

Similarly, in 1871 Thomas Condrey resided in Malew Parish at New Road, Mt. Pleasant #2. In this instance, the census taker started on Douglas & Castleman Road, proceeding to Ballaglonney Farm, then St. Mark's Road, Mile Road, Balla jera, St. Mark's Road Ballakew, St. Mark's Cottages, Mountain Road, Lheszy(?), Mountain Road, Close Clark, then reaching New Road, Mt. Pleasant.

I would be very grateful for your help in finding these two census locations. I have purchased an 1874 Ordnance Survey map, but haven't been able to figure out these exact locations from that map. Linda
