SNIPPET: Perhaps you can still locate a copy of this 1999 p/b book if the subject interests you: "The Famine in the Kilkenny/Tipperary Region: a history of the Callan workhouse and the Poor Law Union, 1845-1852," ed. Michael O'DWYER, Callan Heritage Society c/o editor at Garrvaghey, College Gardens, Kilkenny. At the time of publication it sold for 7 pounds. According to a 1999 review by 'Books Ireland" -- "This 116-page book with folding map is a remarkably detailed study of the famine in the townlands on the Kilkenny-Tipperary border, reproducing contemporary documents (some in good facsimile) and well illustrated. The editor writes on the background, the main chapters are by John WALSH, and a chapter on Slieveardagh in Co.Tipperary by William NOLAN is added. There are subscription lists and names of those 'recommended for emigration' and all sorts of detail that would make this invaluable for those tracing forebears in this part of the country. There are source notes and a very short select bibliography. Design and production are a good deal better than many such local productions."
