Sligo 1832

[Kiltaglassan]

I notice that William Livingston's age is give as 25 on the 1854  marriage but Maria is "full age". I can never decide what full age actually was back then (21 or 25) but mostly use 25. Anyway Maria could be a sister of Georg'e Whyte's father John. 

Full Age was 21 yrs and over.

Here's the link to the 1854 marriage-

...and the townland of Montiagh linked as well-

Thank you KG.

Sagura Montiach corresponds to Sargirra. There was supposed to be a comma after Sagura not a full stop.

I have now looked for Whites in the Tithes and there is a John White at Tobercorry, Achonry in 1827 and another in Tulicusheen in Achonry.

Would it be helpful to move posts about Whyte family of Sligo (reply #15 onwards) to a new thread with an appropriate title?

I know there was a cholera outbreak in Sligo in 1832 so I presume this was the reason for their move

"A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland" by Samuel Lewis, published 1837 County Sligo section mentions that typhus was endemic in Kilmacteige parish.

1833 a Royal Commission was set up to enquire into the condition of the poorer classes. Estimated more than 2 million people in Ireland were out of work and needing assistance for more than 30 weeks a year.   
 Outcome was Irish Poor Law Bill 1837.
