I have found my 4xGGrandfather noted in the Tithe Applotment book indexes and was wondering if any kind soul had access to the full record so I could see how much land he was renting and any other piece of info that might be helpful.
John Lynch, 1834, Townland=Magheriarval (Magherarville), Civil Parish= Mullaghbrack.
As always, any help would be really appreciated.

A quick bit of background info first........David WALLACE was born C1835 in Arbroath to Robert & Mary nee MATHER. He married my ggreat aunt, Mary LYNCH, in December 1856 & they had a child, Helen, in 1858 in Dundee. After that they dissappear (as a couple). Helen is then raised by her maternal grandparents until 1865 when she comes out to Australia with Mary's two sisters, one of whom is my ggreat grandmother. I've always suspected David deserted Mary & Helen for whatever reason...have never been able to find a death in Scotland for him BUT have turned up some interesting newspaper articles on him and this is where I need some help please.
In August 1855 he committed burglary with a James Falconer (the witness on his later marriage certificate!) and was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment. This was noted in the Dundee Courier report on 5th December 1855 regarding Emily Currie/Mitchell being charged with the same offence but can find no separate record re the original charging of David & James. Where would he have served the sentence?
In July of 1858, in the Hull Packet & East Riding Times he is noted as being apprehended for a rape committed (not a nice person!) in Arbroath and handed over to a constable for return to same, but once again can find no Dundee Courier report about this incident or subsequent sentencing. I'd have thought this would have been reported at the time?? Can anyone find any further reports/records on this?
Now's the tricky bit........a David WALLACE & David SUTTIE were tried in Perth for robbery with violence in 1862 and sentenced to 6 years penal servitude (in Australia). They were both Gunners in the Fifeshire Militia at the time of sentencing. In trying to connect this David to the other two (which would fit with why I can't find further records for "my" David Wallace in Scotland), I was wondering if it was customary for prisoners to be forced to join the militia as part of their sentence or even after time served??
Sorry to be so long winded but can anyone help me put this jigsaw together please?

Can anyone tell me if this cemetery still exists please?
Have a burial for a Thomas PINNINGTON on 13th May 1830 that I'd like to follow up on if possible.

Hi All
I have a query on the payment of assisted passage from England in the 19th century please.
I've found the details of payment for the passage to SA of my ggrandmother from the Schedule of Assisted Passage Certificates, which shows payment was made after she arrived.
Does anyone know if this was the norm?
Cheers
Annie
