Thanks Dave,

Sorry to rain on anyone’s parade, but I eliminated Dunwish, Drumragh parish, 
from the equation a decade ago when transcribing the Longfield West tithe 
records. Dunwish is a fairly extensive townland of 270 acres containing a total 
of fourteen tithepayers; none of the names are recorded within Dunwaist in 
Longfield West. The tithe books record only townlands within a particular 
parish and no other; pure and simple. The guidelines were legislated in the 
parliament at Westminster.

Hi guys

There's no mention of Dunwaist (or anything like it) in the O.S. Memoirs Index 
volume.

However I've been looking at William O'Kane's "Heather Peat and Stone" listings 
and maps for co.Tyrone parishes and townlands.

Could this be a recording variation/transcription error for the townland of 
Dunwish (parish of Drumragh) ..... which is just to the east of Mullanatoomog, 
Kilmore, Gillygooly and Aghnamoyle?

Didn't want it said "we done waste" a potential good source .....!

Best regards

Hello Katherine,



I guess the record you have for DUNWAIST is from my transcription of the 
Longfield West Parish tithe applotment book of 1826 
https://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/longfieldwest.html ? It is the only 
instance that I have located a mention of this place. It is not recorded in the 
c1860 Griffiths Valuation of the parish which indicates that it was a 
subdenomination; there are only five tithepayers recorded in 1826 – John 
Barton, John Bleaney, James Booth, John Booth and [?] Boyd - perhaps just a 
collection of a few fields.

I recall that when transcribing the TAB quite some years ago, I felt it 
necessary to confirm my doubts by referring to an old LDS CD of indexes to 
Northern Ireland TABs and it confirmed my transcription.

No further suggestions, I’m afraid (and I also referred to the c1831 Langfield 
West Ordnance Memoirs, but no luck there).



All good wishes for your research,

Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia

I am having the hardest time figuring out where Dunwaist is (or was). I found a 
record from Longfield West that mentioned several people from Dunwaist, but no 
trace of it on maps or other databases.

Does anyone know where it is?

I appreciate any help,

Katherine
