Hello All, Urney parish researchers will find these two new submissions essential for locating tithe paying forebears in the 1830s. https://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/urney_tithe.html https://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/urney_tithe2.html
The online National Archives of Ireland, Dublin indexes are peppered with errors so it will be necessary to refer to my indexes and attempt to locate the relevant online page in the two tithe applotment books, but please be aware of the added challenge of the misspelling of townlands. This is not a situation affecting Urney parish only, but all parishes in Cos. Tyrone, Donegal, Londonderry and Fermanagh I have transcribed and indexed and submitted to CTI https://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/titheindex.html https://www.cotyroneireland.com/menus/tithe.html In a recent discussion on another page, there were concerned posts expressing disappointment with the index to the new PRONI online Tithe Applotment Books and the absence of recorded Tyrone and Londonderry forebears; quite concerned, I referred to my indexes, and thankfully all “missing ancestors” were recorded. I urge all researches to refer to them: all 43 Tyrone parishes have been indexed and a growing number for Cos. Donegal, Londonderry & Fermanagh. Multiple errors in transcription and indexing and the omission of at least one townland are apparent in the online Urney indexes on the National Archives of Ireland online archive http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp– the Urney file is actually an amalgamation of two TABs but fails to acknowledge this – the 1825 valuation contains townlands within Co. Tyrone only whereas the valuation of the northern section of the parish (1827) consists of townlands in both Cos Tyrone & Donegal. Unfortunately, the map accompanying the tithe applotment books is actually that of Urney Parish, Co. Cavan.

Thanks, Guys, for the team work! Ray Hawkins has cleverly pointed out that names and surnames AS TRANSCRIBED in the National Archives Listings may be different from what was actually recorded . Hence, for "Knox" there are entries under "Knose" and "Knor". Wow! What a start to the New Year, I had not seen these .. These images can all be downloaded, free of charge. Also, by manipulating the actual image (..00xxx.pdf) number in the website link, we can access other secrets .. * See for example, <http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab/004625731/0046257 31_00280.pdf> http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab//004625731/0046257<http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab/004625731/0046257> 31_00280.pdf This links to the original tithe recordal certificate for Urney, and shows original signatures for i.a. the Rector, Rev. James Jones and the 4 vestrymen -- William Inch (?), James Cunningham, James Woods and David Woods. * And it is clearly "Galbraith Hamilton" who is one of the local landowners, rather than "Gabbrath Hamilton" or "Gabbett Hamilton" (as transcribed).
