Ireland / What's happened to Griffiths Valuation at AskAboutIreland ?

https://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

I've been using this for a while now but today it's giving me a page for primary school children about the natterjack toad.

Cork / Re: Griffiths valuation, Patrick Cusack, Ballkearney 11a. But maps only show 9 plots

Thank you, I'd ignored the numbers that had been crossed out. I can't make them all out but there's definitely a 5A, 6B, 9, 10 and 11.

Cork / Griffiths valuation, Patrick Cusack, Ballkearney 11a. But maps only show 9 plots
« on: Tuesday 26 September 23 16:42 BST (UK)  »
A search of Griffiths valuation for Patrick Cusack in Condons and Clangibbon, Co Cork at askaboutireland.ie gives a single result in Kilgullane civil parish. Looking at the original page he's the occupier of Ballykearney 11a. But looking at the map view (all 4 versions) Ballykearney only has 9 plots, 1A, 1B, and 2 to 8.

So where are plots 9, 10, and 11 ?

Cork / Re: Townland of Lisheenakirka (Macroney civil parish) in tithe applotment books?
« on: Tuesday 26 September 23 16:29 BST (UK)  »
Thank you both. I was hoping that I'd overlooked some important resource, but it appears not. So educated guesswork it will have to be. Totting up the areas and checking surnames against Griffiths Valuation it is then.

Cork / Townland of Lisheenakirka (Macroney civil parish) ?
« on: Monday 25 September 23 11:47 BST (UK)  »
This townland appears in the Tithe Applotment books http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/pagestab/Cork/Macroney/ but I can't find it at

- logainm.ie - https://www.logainm.ie/en/s?txt=lisheenakirka&str=on
- townlands.ie https://www.townlands.ie/cork/macroney/
- John Grenham https://www.johngrenham.com/c_parish/c_parish_main.php?civilparishid=104&civilparish=Macroney&CountyMap=

So where's it gone ?

I assume it was renamed, merged, or something like that, which poses a more general question - when the townlands in the earlier records are different from those in later records how does one find out which new ones match which old ones ?

Cork / Re: Ellen Cusack, born c1834 - trying to find her father Patrick (not James)
« on: Monday 25 September 23 10:46 BST (UK)  »
Thank you, that gives me at least two baptisms (can't be sure I've found them all) -

 14 Jun 1840, Mary, Patrick Cusack + Joanna Cantwell, ? Condon + Mary ?, Ballykerny https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633882#page/22/mode/1up

13 June 1841, John, parents Patk Cusack + Joanna Cantwell, witnesses Wm Cantwell + Mary Cantwell, Ballykerny https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633882#page/27/mode/1up

Ellen (and other siblings perhaps) being baptised in the same place a year or two before the earliest extant baptism records seems highly probable now.

Cork / Ellen Cusack, born c1834 - trying to find her father Patrick (not James)
« on: Saturday 23 September 23 14:42 BST (UK)  »
Ellen married Michael Corbett on 8 March 1859 in the RC parish of Glanworth and Ballindangan, Diocese of Cloyne - sixth entry on the left page here https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633883#page/21/mode/1up )

The couple lived in Ballykearney and had seven children between 1860 and 1872. The informant for two of their children's births is 'Patrick Cusack, occupier'
 - William b14Oct1865 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1865/03550/2307020.pdf
 - Patrick b9May1868 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1868/03437/2262165.pdf

The informant for 66yo Patrick Cusack's 15Jul1871 Ballykearney death was daughter Ellen Cusack of Ballykearney https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1871/020763/7284100.pdf

The informant for 84yo James Cusack's 5Sep1891 death was niece Ellen Corbett of Ballykearney https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1891/06061/4727950.pdf

Ellen died in 1900 in Ballykearney (Mitchelstown, Co Cork) aged 66, so estimated birth year 1834  - entry 362 fourth from bottom here https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1900/05743/4621612.pdf

However, I'm drawing blanks trying to track down a Patrick Cusack who had a daughter Ellen around 1834. Any help would be much appreciated.


(I originally thought that James was her father, as the 29 Aug 1840 baptism of Ellen, daughter of Jas Cusack and Jane Lane was the only record that came close, and it was in the parish where she got married - just over halfway down the left page here https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633882#page/23/mode/1up. But the informant details for James and Patrick's deaths make it quite clear that this is not her)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Father's occupation on 1866 Irish civil birth registration ?
« on: Saturday 23 September 23 12:56 BST (UK)  »
As often happens it's obvious once pointed out - Labourer and Thos St. Thanks everybody.
(I'd read it as Salomeo and Shop St, neither of which seemed right)
