Len,
(greetings from Adelaide)
You say that the site doesn't accept Table format - but your first email
DID have the table format and made for easy cross-comparison of names. I
use Thunderbird email client.
Thanks for your efforts

Hello Listers; am resubmitting this post as the site does not accept
submissions with tables formatted content and trust that the data can
be interpreted easily:
Many thanks to Jim McKane for his appreciative response to my most
recent submissions to CTI http://www.cotyroneireland.com/ : Indexes to
Donaghmore, Co. Donegal Tithe Applotment Books 1815 and 1826. This
exercise was undertaken to support my long-held assertion that a
record of your forebear within a townland in Griffiths Valuation did
not necessarily prove that this was the native townland of your
emigrant forebear and the generations before him or her; there are
many instances where this belief is not supported by referring to the
tithe applotment books of the 1820s-30s where it is not possible to
locate a previous generation of your family. But Donaghmore parish in
Co. Donegal (just across the Tyrone/ Donegal county boundary) has two
surviving tithe books - 1815 and 1826 and there are a great many
instances where tithe payers recorded in 1815 have gone from the
townland eleven years later in 1826. They may have been ejected from
their holdings or perhaps emigrated. An excellent example is the
townland of BALLYBUN:
BALLYBUN 1815 (18 tithepayers)
ALLEN Robt.
ALLEN Wm.
ANDERSON Jas.
CATTERSON John
CATTERSON Thos.
CATTERSON Widow
ELLIOT Robert
FAIR Edward
FLEMING Matthew
HONE Neal
HONE Redmond
KELLY Hugh
KELLY Laughlin
LONG Gustavus
McGOWAN Hugh
McMENAMON Patrick
MOORHEAD Robt.
NESBIT Jas.
BALLYBUN 1826 (16 tithepayers))
ALLEN Widow Elizabeth
ALLEN William
ANDERSON David
CATERSON James
CATERSON John
CATERSON Michael
CATERSON Thomas
ELLIOTT John
FAIR Edward
FLEMING Matthew
GALLAGHER Hugh
KELLY Hugh
KELLY Laughlin
LYNCH David
McMENAMIN Patrick
MOORHEAD Robert
The tithe applotment books are a most important resource and I urge
all researchers to refer to them keeping an open mind that a family of
the same name (or similar spelling) within adjacent townlands or a
neighbouring parish may be related.
Good luck with your research everybody,
