Tithe Applotments


Tithe Applotments - Parish of Kilshane
Contirbuted by Liz Davenport

In March 1834 John Cooke, appointed Commissioner for Parish of
Kilshane, certified the sum of 65 Pounds Sterling as the just amount
of the composition for tithes in this Parish. The Parish contained
853 acres 3 roods 11 perches titheable land and 14 acres 0 roods 11
perches untitheable land.

Following is a list of the occupiers; and the size of their holdings
is given in acres-roods-perches [A-R-P]. Townland names are as found
in the 1834 record. The Commissioner recorded some interesting
observations/notes; and I have included them here in brackets [ ].
