Ratdinnon
« on: Wednesday 03 September 08 14:29 BST (UK) »
According to the List of 1831 Tithe Defaulters, Mathew Boden, a farmer at Ratdinnon, was one of the 109 defaulters in the barony of Ferrard. Can anyone please tell me where Ratdinnon was or is? I expect it to be near Tinure, but I can't find it on any map.

Thank you,
Simon

Is it townlands or parishes on 1831 Tithe defaulters list?- quite often those sort of sources are by parish not townland.

Tinure is in the parish of Millary, Poor Law Union of Drogheda, Barony of Ferrard.
Could this be the place? (there are several Boden households in Rathdrumin Parish):
There is a Rathdrumin townland in Rathdrumin Parish, Poor Law Union of Drogheda, Barony of Ferrard.

You ca search Griffith's Valuation here (and there are links to the maps):
