Thank you Robin, Wonderful to learn of your success with the Longfield West tithe applotment book of 1826 and many thanks for your thanks. Your message confirms everything I have been aware of for many years; the tithe applotments are essential for locating the families and townlands of emigrants who left Ireland prior to and during the Great Famine 1845-50.
I encourage researchers to refer to them on CoTyroneIreland.com http://www.cotyroneireland.com/ The search site for the transcribed and indexed Tithe Applotment Books for all 43 Tyrone parishes is http://www.cotyroneireland.com/search.php These complete indexes are not available in their entirety elsewhere. Perhaps I should alert non-Australian researchers that immigration and civil registration records in the old colonies of New South Wales and Victoria make it a fairly (generally) easy task to reach back into the late eighteenth century; a marriage or death certificate containing the names of parents (including mothers’ maiden names) and place of birth (yes, townland and parish!) is not unusual.
