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. 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
