The Tithe Defaulter Schedules are held in the National Archives, Bishop St, Dublin. These schedules are lists of the names of the people who did not pay their tithes for the year 1831. When increasing numbers of tithe payers refused to pay tithes during the years 1830 and 1831, in particular, many Church of Ireland clergymen found themselves in difficult financial circumstances. The Government set up what was called the Clergy Relief Fund 1831, to alleviate the problem. One consequence of this Act was that the Government then had the job of collecting the arrears of tithes in each parish rather than the clergymen.   If the clergyman wished to seek assistance under the terms of the Act, he had to swear an affidavit setting out the methods he had employed in attempting to recover the arrears of tithe for 1831. To accompany the affidavit he had to write out a Schedule, listing the Names, Descriptions, and Places of Abode of the Persons, Occupiers of Land within his Parish or the "Representatives of such of them as are dead." He also had to state how much tithe was due from each tithe payer and how much each tithe payer was in arrears. The affidavits and the schedules then had to be sent to Dublin Castle for a decision as to whether relief would be granted or not under the terms of the Act which set up the Clergy Relief Fund.  

There are 1,061 pages of names of Tithe Defaulters. These 1,061 pages of names cover 232 Parishes and lists 29,027 names throughout Ireland. This is a unique record of people living in Ireland, and of their address and occupation, at the time that the various Schedules were compiled, in June, July and August 1832. The following index is for the schedule for County Carlow.
