Missing Tithes from Tankardstown Parish
« on: Sunday 12 February 17 20:28 GMT (UK) »
I am interested in seeing the tithes for Tankardstown Civil Parish near Athy.  Most of all, I am interested in the townland of Nicholastown and the name Whelan.

As far as I can tell, the whole parish seems to be missing from the National Archives of Ireland website.  Some Nicholastowns pop up, but in the wrong parishes and baronies. 

What is going on?  Were they just never scanned in?  Lost?  Not subject to the tithes?

Some places are listed under the wrong county.
If none of the farms were large enough to pay a tithe it won't be listed at all.

I can see several Tankardstown townlands but don't see Nicholastown.

Could it be the same Nichlastown as the one listed under Kilcullen Kildare?

Second thoughts forget that idea.

I wonder if the problem is the top of the pages, could some of the names be missing?
Need to work through page by page, having some keyboard problems but hopefully changing browser solves that.

I really want to emphasize that first page you found was really awesome!!!

I saw something on it I wasn't expecting:  The name "Fenlon."  This was my GGG grandmother's maiden name.  She was married to James Mitchell of Betaghstown, Clane.

The name could be a coincidence, but I think not.  Her son, Michael, my GG grandfather, married a Whelan from Nicholastown.

This could mean another branch or two on my tree!!!  Thanks, again!!!
