Hallmark, that looks like you've hit the target with that but my only reservation is why is the registration district shown as Kilmeaden. Is it a case he was living in Waterford City but registered the birth outside? Thinking laterally


Just found this the leper hospital was set up by King John  in 1211 or 1212

An HOSPITAL was founded about the year 1211 or 1212, by King John, who incorporate it under the designation of the Master, Brethren, and Sisters of the Leper-house of St. Stephen, and granted the society a common seal. He endowed it with the house and several other buildings in St. Stephen's parish, and the oblations and offerings of that parish with lands at Poleberry without St. John's gate, and with the lands of Leperstown, in the barony of Gualtier, containing 500 plantation acres; also with the tubes of Carrigbrahan.

It again mentions Carrigbrahan a 500 acre plantation hence the tithe record much later. But where the hell is Carrigbrahan ?

I understand Hallmark's finding as that the Leper Hospital in Waterford City received the TITHES of Carrigbrahan as income.

Bit of a crossposting, notaninch, sorry.

with the tubes of Carrigbrahan.

Josey see my response post to Hallmark. The leper hospital was set up by King John who gave the hospital land and hence the tithe record shown by Hallmark

1211, that far back perhaps it can be found on the Down Survey

Are you sure. Could be the Registrar was having a moment and completely lost it. I like the Down Survey maps but I could be searching for days and still not find it. There are times when don't know or a vague...in the County of simply is better.  I've already spent too many hours on this already. That is not to say that I am really truly grateful to you, Josey and Sinann for your help.

They don't make this family history lark easy for us. His wife was from the Fennor area, so it makes sense. That said Kilmeaden is the other side of the County. Where they lived was Carrigbrahan and maybe William wanted the exercise so walked to Kilmeaden to register the birth.
