Tyrone / Re: Catholic Burials near Aughnacloy

It will be tiresome but you could check the early Catholic Church records on microfilm  for Aghaloo Parish at www.nli.ie. Sometimes people act as sponsors at baptism or witness at marriage and this can give you some idea of possible relatives. It is not definitive but it can help, sometimes. Also think of checking neighbouring parishes, such as Killeeshil, Errigal Kieran and Errigal Trough. A days subscription to Rootsireland can help narrow things down and it isn't too expensive.

Armagh / Re: Hillock(s)/Hillick(s) research - is it possible researching pre 1808?
« on: Thursday 06 September 18 18:46 BST (UK)  »
You could look at the Irishgenealogy hub website and consult the Tithe Records of 1827 approx for Armagh. You should be able to see where there were Hillocks/Hillicks, particularly a James.
Its probably not useful but there were definitely people of that name in the Armagh Parish Catholic records which start 1796 or a bit earlier. You would need a Rootsireland subscription or take the time to search  the Armagh Catholic records online at www.nli.ie. It is time consuming and the microfilm isn't always legible but it is free! Though your Hillocks were in Derrynoose they might have originated nearer Armagh City.

Tyrone / Re: Tithe Applottments

Thanks for this. I have looked at this website but didn't read the introduction. I suppose applottment is an old word.

Tyrone / Tithe Applottments
« on: Tuesday 06 March 18 16:26 GMT (UK)  »
I have been looking at church Of Ireland Vestry Minutes and have seen a couple of entries "applottments  agreed" followed by  short list of names. Is this how the amount payable was calculated using the area of a "plot"? or has the word applottment  another meaning.The list of names is short so it's not those being charged. I have also looked at the actual Tithe records at PRONI. Could the list possibly refer to the collectors of the Tithes. Can anyone tell me more about the Tithes and who actually accessed and then collected them.I know the money was for the upkeep of the Church Of Ireland, the established church.

Thank you Hallmark and Elwyn. I appreciate your help. I will look at the relevant Memorials again to see if I can make more sense of them.

Thanks for reply. Why I am  interested is that what I believe to be my ancestor  appears a number of times as "for the lives of". The others mentioned in this way  are, I think, richer people than he was. I was wondering if perhaps he was a rent collector. He was I think a member of the Select Vestry so he may just have been considered respectable. The memorials suggest he was a blacksmith. The memorials are great anyway!

Tyrone / Memorials of Irish Deeds
« on: Tuesday 16 May 17 22:29 BST (UK)  »
I probably sound stupid but I have been trying to work out how these memorials work. They seem to show A leasing land to B with what seem to be witnesses, C D E etc  but the  lease is for the term of the lives of three others FGH etc , different people.  Is there a pattern here? Are the three others relatives or possibly tenants of B?  A lot of these memorials  have been transcribed on www.cotyroneireland.com and they are really interesting. Can anyone help, Please.

The burial I am  interested in would be in the 1840s. I have checked Carnteel C of I for baptisms etc but I think this person was a Catholic married to a  Protestant. Her children are in the C of I records but at least three married Catholics. Their Father died a young man and she was left with small children and  a 30 acre farm which she seems to have managed to keep. Her name was Catherine Conway and she married  Thomas Henderson about 1808. I could not find the marriage. Maybe she just came from a different parish and is buried there but as I don'tknow when she died I am grasping at straws! I am not even sure she was Catholic but it seems odd that her son's would marry as they did.

The priest just said the Church of Ireland cemetery. I googled Tullyvar Road and cemetery and there is a photo of the gates. I won't rush to visit as its unlikely there is a headstone. Another brick wall!
