Tithe Applotment concerned the tithe placed on all Irish whether they be Catholic or another denomination. Griffith's Valuation was a land survey. The former was about 1824 and the latter started about 1847/1848. Tithe Applotment records do no necessarily list all the tenants a particular landlord had. It may list only the landlord. It varied. In our research in we have never found ancestors listed in Tithe applotments only their landlord. However, I know that fellow researchers in some instances were quite lucky. They found family listed by name and even children.

I realize that the two surveys was taken thirty years apart, but the many of the same families appear in both. I also realize there could have been aggregation or dis-aggregation of land "holdings" among occupiers, but in the case of my ancestors' townland (Ballyvoughallan in Killeely parish in Clare) the size went from 20 acres to 173 acres and my family was the only one listed on that townland in both records. I noticed similar differences in my other ancestors townland in Co. Limerick as well. Does anyone know if the acreage in the Tithe Applotment was the full acreage of the farm or only a designated portion (e.g., quality, living quarters)?
