To the List, This question concerns the FHC Film #0265669, Tithe Applotment Book-Bundle 131, Moviddy-Manangh (1926). The parish of Moyaliff on this film is my main concern. I have ordered this film several times over the years, taken notes from it and have even taken digital pictures of some of the pages on the last time. However, I have no record of whether the land measurements were in Irish Plantation acres or English Statute acres. Now, before anyone fires off the standard reply that the Tithes were in Irish acres and the GV was in English acres, let me say that I have found Tithes in both types of acres. Does anyone know for sure which measure was used in the 1826 Moyaliff tithes? Thanks, Mike McGraw Austin, TX Still over 100 and I have stopped counting the days. (That's a reference to the temperature and not my age.)

Hi Mike, Yes, I would have given you the standard reply too. I don't know the answer but if you compare the measurements in T.A. with those in G.V. for any townland in the parish you may get confirmation. To get the English acres check the OSI map at http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,604156,655223,7,9 As you probably know an Irish acre is equal to 1.62 English acre. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Best regards, Seamus.

Problem solved. I scrounged around and found a total townland acreage for Dooree (Commons) among my TA data for Moyaliff. It was 112-2-28= 112.675 acres, multiply that by 1.6198 and get 182.51. The GV area for Dooree is 189 acres and this is known to be English stature acres. Hence the Moyaliff TA is in Irish Plantation acres. Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions.
