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.

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. The number of households or houses is not important to me, but the number of Acres in the Townland is. Can anyone advise why there is a difference between 1821 of 105 acres and 1857 of 170 acres. > > Pam > > > > > > ==== DONEGALEIRE Mailing List ==== > ************************************************************************ > <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> > Check out these Donegal Information Sites > Dick O'Donnell's- http://www.mindspring.com/~dickod/donegal/index.htm > O Donnell Abu/ http://homepage.tinet.ie/~vod/ > Donegal Families/ http://homepage.tinet.ie/~donfam/ > Donegal Database- http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegaleire/Doncontent.html > Donegal Information/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegal/ > > ============================== > Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration > Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
