I've seen Xes by names of people I know were literate. The revised valuations are tricky. They're organized by electoral district (in your case Claremorris, on films 0857528 and 29), within that by civil parish (in your case Kilcolman), and within that by townland. Unfortunately, I don't see the Claremorris townland listed, so will have to ask a friend who knows those lists well which it might be on and get back to you.
