Hello Robbie, Thanks for your query relating to your forebear WILLIAM THOMPSON.
The only tithe applotment book surviving for Artrea Parish (Cos. Tyrone and Londonderry) is dated 1825. I was referring to the LDS film which contains these records on Wednesday and can confirm that there were no Thompsons recorded in the townland in 1825 - see http://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/titheindex.html for a description of these important records. However, there was a Wm. Thompson recorded as a tithe payer in Mowillian (Mawillian) townland in the Co. Londonderry portion of the parish. I am unfamiliar with the records you quote, preferring to go to the original source. So next looked at Griffiths Valuation c1860 (records heads of households) http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ and was unable to locate any Thompsons residing in either townland, however Thompsons are recorded in other townlands in the parish.
