Good luck Diana with your transcription of the Tithes. To me denomination always meant one's religion. If there is a different meaning I woild love to know. Since the tithes were payments to the Established Church and the survey was for the purpose of identifying those who were liable to pay religion might come into it. Catholics resented having to pay tithes to the Church of Ireland.

There are more denominations than townlands, which suggests to me that the denominations were subdivisions of older townlands. Does anyone know the purpose of the two listings?
