Hello Dave, Yes, “Heather, Peat and Stone” is a great resource for locating townlands in Co. Tyrone, but is sadly out of print. However all in not lost as Jim McKane has compiled an online list of every townland in Co. Tyrone with links to parishes and can be found on the Official County Tyrone Ireland website http://www.cotyroneireland.com/townlands/townlands.html It’s a very easy task to locate your emigrant forebear’s native townland. Thank you, Jim!
BTW Robert from Ulster Ancestry confirms that Ballinteer townland is indeed in Co. Londonderry.

Tyrone, lies. I have transcribed the 1827 Camus tithe applotment book which can be found on the CTI website at http://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/tithe_camus.html which contains neither Guthries or Ballinteer More. Robert, did you take the reference from the CD Index to the Tithe Applotment Books 1823-38 (Family Archive Viewer, 1999)? This compilation contains many errors; have had a quick search and have found a Samuel Guthrie recorded in the townland of Ballinteer North, in Macosquin parish, Co. Londonderry in Griffiths Valuation c1860 http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/. This CD contains a great many errors. I have transcribed and indexed the tithe applotment books for all Tyrone parishes and there is not a single record for any Guthrie as a tithepayer in the county. Just before signing off I have taken a look at Bill Macafee’s invaluable CD Researching Derry and Londonderry Ancestors which contains the 1831 Co. Londonderry census and it records both Adam and William Guthrie at Ballinteer. Hope this clarifies things. Also many thanks to Bill Macafee for his wonderful compilation.

Guthrie was/is not a common name in Tyrone. There are still a few around today and a few living in the City of Londonderry but they would not be considered "prolific" Adam Guthrie County : Tyrone Parish : Camus Ballinteer More Date of entry : 31st March 1828 William Guthrie County : Tyrone Parish : Camus Ballinteer More Date of entry 31st March 1828 The market town of Strabane is at the center of the Parish of Camus best regards Robert www.ulsterancestry.com Heather-Mike Grimes<https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=cotyronelist@cotyroneireland.com&q=from:%22Heather%5C-Mike+Grimes%22> Sat, 12 Aug 2017 17:13:12 -0700<https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=cotyronelist@cotyroneireland.com&q=date:20170812> I'm looking for ancestry of James Guthrie. He & his brothers left Tyrone County, Ireland for America in 1790's. I'm looking for more information on them. Any ideas where I can dig more about them. I looked up on Ancestry.com, & county courthouse, I only found little information. Hope someone in Tyrone County in Ireland can help. _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList mailing list CoTyroneList@cotyroneireland.com http://mail.cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com
