Hi everyone Yet another query about Urney.Throughout the 19th century my ancestors farmed two farms in the townlands of Rabstown and Glentown. Their landlord was the Rev William Knox who was also landlord to all of Glentown and most of Rabstown. Another member of the clergy, Rev John McConaghy was the landlord for the rest of Rabstown. I think he was the Church of Ireland rector for Urney. My query is whether these two were the owners of the land or were they acting for the church. Also can anyone tell me anything about them - I seem to remember that a Rev W Knox was the rector of Clonleigh in Donegal (Ordnance Survey Memoirs) . Would there be any records relating to them or their tenants other than Griffiths and the revision books. Hope someone might have some information. Have been having fun recently, comparing maps from the Griffiths Valuation with modern OS maps, then googling the spots where I think the farms were. Without actually being able to visit Tyrone at the moment, it's amazing to be able to 'walk' along the lanes that my ancestors walked , look out over their fields and see if anything remains of their homes. Modern technology is a wonderful thing! I was just about to send this when I noticed Boyd's latest contribution relating to the Griffiths Valuation and it's amazing content. It is where so much of my information about my family has come from, and my last comment reinforces the magic it can create. Regards Marion Shephard
