Hi Michael, I have access to the tithe records. I believe the Landsdowne Estate records total two tons in weight. There is a graveyard attached to Killowen parish church which is now in ruins. 1850's the auxiliary workhouse was situated in Killowen. What was the name of the townland in Dromod that your Danahy's lived in?
