Tyrone / Re: McCristal family

Thanks
I haven't hit the Irish side of my ancestry until now, although I knew the connection was there.
I have Thomas McCristal's Tithe Applotment in 1826 listed as Tyrone, Kildress, Strens. Is this enough for me to track down from the other side of the world? Interestingly, he also seems to pop up in Antrim in the 1830s.
Does the Tithe Applotment mean he was a farmer who had to pay taxes to a landlord? Forgive my ignorance; this is all new terminology to me.
