-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Y-IRL] A surnames Leitrim Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2002 12:14:43 -0000 From: "Jane Lyons" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> The following is the list of names taken from the index for Leitrim listing surnames that were recorded in Leitrim in both the Griffiths and Tithes. This volume is more commonly known as the Householders Index. These surname index books are in two arts. The first being a general index for the whole county listing the number of times a surname is found in the Griffiths for a Barony and then also indicating whether or not it was recorded in the Tithes Applotment books for that barony. Generally speaking the Tithe Applotment books listings are for about 20- 30 years before Griffiths was caarried out in the county (Griffiths began in Cork so the years are closer for southern counties) These books list surnames as occuring in any place when the Tithes were carried out regardless of whether or not they occurred during the Griffiths. >From these surname books we can find names being spelled differently from one tax list to the next or having disappeared from any area altogether between the two. This is from the first part of the index - the part which lists names by Baronies. The second part of the index breaks the listing down to parish level. I've made no note of those names that only occurred in the Tithes, and I have not tried to bring those surnames that are more than likely the same but spelled differently together on rows, for e.g Allegam as listed here could be Allingham. Overall, it's interesting to compare the spellings with those found on the Griffiths cd...........and something else I've noticed with other counties that I have gone to parish level in, is that names can be missing from this part of the index and found in the Parish parts.
