Thank you for the responses... I'll gather together what I've checked so far on my gggrandfather to minimize duplication of effort, and post further. I was mostly curious about that particular record. It will be a couple of days though, as it's the peak of "aspen season" in Colorado, which equates to houseguests and trips into the mountains to enjoy the gold on the hillsides.

This is clearly a partial list only as there are many schools (National and parochial) recorded in Tyrone parishes in the Ordnance Survey Memoirs of the 1820s. Patrons were, generally, rectors of the Established Church and/ or benevolent landlords. There were also Dublin-based charitable organisations involved in the education of children of the labouring classes. Liphaven is not recorded as a town, village or townland in Co. Tyrone. Perhaps you may wish to share with the List the name of your emigrant forebear; his father may be recorded in the tithe applotment books of the 1820s-30s. Trust this is useful, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia
