Janet, I sent a note this morning from a mobile device which looks like it didn't go through. I suggested use of the "Householders Index" for Co. tyrone which covers both the earleir Tithe Applotment of the 1820-30s and the Primary (a.k.a. Griffith's) Valuation (late 1850s to early 60s for Tyrone). The following is from a database based upon the Householders Index. I suggest you check the original books for accuracy: For the GREGORY surname in the 9 counties of the Province of Ulster: County Total (with the # for the head of household based upon Griffith's) Cavan 1 Down 5 Antrim 5 Monaghan 4 Tyrone 2 Londonderry 0 Armagh 12 Donegal 24 Fermanagh 12 The details for Tyrone: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Griffith Valuation Tithe Survey ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- . Householders Recorded; Civil Parish (Barony *); Poor Law Union; Year of Valuation; Present In Parish; Year of Survey 1 ARDSTRAW (LOWER STRABANE); CASTLEDERG, GORTIN,OMAGH & STRABANE; 1860 No 1833 0 CARNTEEL; CLOGHER & DUNGANNON; 1860 Yes 1827 0 DONAGHMORE; DUNGANNON; 1860 Yes 1815 1 DONAGHMORE; DUNGANNON; 1860 Yes 1815 0 ERRIGAL KEEROGUE; CLOGHER & DUNGANNON 1860 Yes 1833 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- 2 Total Householders Recorded * The name of the barony is listed only in cases where the civil parish is located in more than one barony ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- I hope that gives you some research leads. Given that there are over 40 civil parishes in the County, its not too bad at all. If you wanted to narrow it further, you could do a similar Householders Index search for the maiden surname who married the GREGORY. Good luck, Clare L. - - - - -Some of my Co Tyrone names: Devlin, McAleer, Donnelly, McCullagh, McCusker, McCrory -----Original Message----- From: Ray <ray15@optusnet.com.au> To: cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 3:25 am Subject: Re: [CoTyIre] : Help w/placename - GREGORY in Tyrone Hello Once more, Janet. 1. Yes, posting on the GREGORY list, sounds like a great idea; not only for flushing out Guy GREGORY; but for your GREGORY research in general. 2. Regarding the Griffiths, and its possibly being after Eliza and her family left Tyrone; my belief is that usually when even most of the family emigrated, they will have left behind, if not at least one older sibling, more distant family members like aunts/uncles/cousins. etc. 3. Given that the Griffiths gives GREGORY in Ardstraw parish; and that Ballynaloan is in Ardstraw,and might look very much like Ballinsloe in running writing, I'd be tempted to give that at try. Hopefully there will be others on this list who have personal experience with the relevant parishes and townlands, who might be able to give you more specific guidance than my mere generalities. Good Luck. Ray in oz. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet Kinsella" <janetkinsella@hotmail.com> To: <cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com> > Ray and Clare, > Thanks so much for the suggestions.
