Hi Pam Teroddy, in the Ordnance Survey Memoirs, belongs to Lord Wicklow, is about half a mile north of the Church of Taughboyne, it has arable 39, pasture or bog 40 acres. there is no cemetery in the townland of Teroddy. In the Parish of Taughboyne, there is a cemetery attached to the Church, belonging to the Church of Ireland. The other Church cemetery belongs to the Presbyterian Church in St Johnston. the Tithe Applottment Books are deposited in the Public Record Office Belfast. Northern Ireland. The National Archives in Dublin would have a copy as well. Hope this helps.

The Tithe Applotments used Irish Acres. Griffith's Valuation used English or Statute Acres. One Irish Acre = 1.6 Statute acres. -Mike Sweeney Pam Gaudio wrote: > Last question.

One alternative is to buy current Irish stamps from a local stanp-and-coin dealer, and send enough for an airmail reply with your query. Even with a retail mark-up over face value, the cost should be less than equivalent International Reply Coupons, and the recipient doesn't have to visit the post office to exchange them--a time expenditure that may outway the postage cost.

That townland isn't mentioned in the Ordance Survey, Parishes of County Donegal II, 1835/6. It does say that the proprietors are the Marquis of Londondeery, Earl of Wicklow, Marquis of Abercorn, Revd Mr. Leslie, James Saunderson Esquire, Patterson Esquire, William Squire, the heirs of the late William Law Esquire, William Stewart of Hornhead, Esquire, Charles Colhoon, William Ball Esquire.

Joanne You know this whole family is listed at LDS right? Children Maggie, William, Mary, Kate, John and Hannah. I will look tomorrow in London Grove. What are you looking for? Janice

Hello I live very close to London Grove. Do you know where they are buried? Janice

I have been reviewing all my notes for Taughboyne Parish and have a few questions. If anyone can help with some answers I'd appreciate hearing from you. Can anyone tell me if the monumental inscriptions have been recorded from any of the cemeteries in the townland of Tirroddy? I am particulary interested in the Taughboyne Parish area. I have the spelling of Tirroddy a couple of different ways - Terrody, Tirroddy - which is the correct spelling? Does anyone have access to the Tithe Applotment Books 1823-38 for Donegal or Londonderry? In case you are not sure what these are, here is a quick refresher. Tithe was a tax on agriculture land, paid by occupiers of all religious demonitations, to the clery of the Established Church of Ireland. It was like a farm census & generally excluded urban dwellers and labourers. Does anyone know where these records are kept. I was under the impression that the Duke of Abercorn was the owner of the lands of the townland of Tirroddy, but I now believe that I may be mistaken, can anyone help on this. Last question. The Taughboyne Census of Townlands for 1821 - Terrody is listed as having 105 Acres, 9 Houses, and 62 Inhabitants. On the 1857 Griffiths Valuation, the Townland of Tirroddy is listed as having 170 Acres and 8 Households.

Hello James, Just send the questions. The S.A.E. is a good idea but most Donegal people would be happy to carry the price of a stamp. I'm not sure about the Duffys though...only joking James.

In a message dated 1/15/2004 6:26:48 PM Eastern Standard Time, jduffy2@worldnet.att.net writes: Thanks for the website, Janice. We live in Austin Texas, USA. On my husband's paternal side we have a Mary DUFFY who married Charles FRIEL in St. Mary's RC Church, Cockhill, Buncrana, County Donegal in 1887. At some point they moved to Scotland. (A son, John, was born in Scotland in 1894.) If you have any info about this family, we'd love to hear it. Also any leads for research would be appreciated. Good luck in your continuing research, Joanne Joanne The reason I ask about where you lived was because I live in Chester Co., Pa. I will see what I can find out about your family since I'm here. Our Friel are from Beefpark, County Donegal. It is about 3 miles from Mountcharles and the town of Donegal. Some of our family also went to Scotland, but it was much earlier then your Charles. I will keep in touch. Janice

To the best of my knowledge Letterkenny Library don't take on paid research But they do have a web page so you could always email them.

Margaret (Mairead) said: "There is also a report with many names of people leaving the Inishowen Peninsula for the U.S. I can't remember the name of the report..." Margaret, You may be thinking of the O.S. Memoirs, which vary by parish in how detailed they are, but for some (rare) parishes, there were lists of emigrants included. I have seen these lists extracted and published in other books, so you may have seen them in a secondary source, too. Volume 38 covers Inishowen; for details, see http://www.qub.ac.uk/iis/publications/OrdnanceSurveyMemoirs/Republic/RepublicVol38.htm Hope that helps. Claire K.

Denise and list, Passenger lists are available in the country to which the passengers immigrated (generally, governments care about who is coming into the country, not who is leaving; Germany is a notable exception -- they kept some departure lists -- but the UK and Ireland follow the general rule). So, if your Moville people emigrated to the US, the records are in the US National Archives (NARA), by port of arrival and date; many of these records are indexed (smaller ports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts are indexed together). See http://www.archives.gov/research_room/genealogy/immigrant_arrivals/passenger_records.html#where for details on NARA's immigration records. Records are available in Washington DC, at (certain) NARA regional offices, at some libraries, by mail, and through their microfilm purchase/rent programs. See http://www.archives.gov/publications/microfilm_catalogs/how_to_rent_microfilm.html for information on NARA's microfilm rental program. Most (all?) of these microfilms are also available through the LDS for viewing at your local FHC. Ancestry seems to be putting some of this data online, but their database is still far from complete. People like the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild -- http://www.immigrantships.net/ -- are putting scattered sh! ips lists online, but they have only a small fraction of passenger ship manifests online. If your people emigrated from Moville to somewhere in the UK, there is almost certainly no passenger list; you have to rely on other records. If your people went to Australia or Canada or elsewhere, you need to check those countries' holdings for passenger lists. Hope this helps.
