There are some Tithe Applottment records for the 1820s but they just name the leaseholder who paid tithes. Johnston is a very common name in Co Antrim. Nevin
Hi Nevin, Would it have the area or parish or town where the tithes were paid? I don't know exactly where James Johnston was from and would really like to find out.

Niven: I have always been struck by the fact that record taking in Ireland appeared few and far between as far as I know you had The Registry of Deeds in 1707, Agricultural Census 1734, and the Rolls of Protestant Householders 1740. I know a lot got burned up in the four courts fires in Dublin, but even so that's not much. Here in the USA as far as I know the Crown (while we were a colony) was never surveyed, the Royal Governors and Proprietors did some recording for tax purposes, but once we became independent from 1790 every 10 years we have had a census and they are a font of info. Which reminds me to ask is there a list of names and where living in the Agricultural Census of 1734?
