HI Peggy,
The first column is just a convenient number.
A/R/P columns stand for acres, roods, perches - the area of the block of
land/farm. 1 acre=4 roods=160 perches. A perch is just under 35 m^2 .
and there are about 2½ acres to the hectare.
The £/s/D are the old currency: pounds/shillings/pence
the 1st ... 6th are the rate of tithe per acre, the rate, I presume,
depending on the value/quality/productivity of the land.
For an explanation of tithes and who receives the 'cash', refer to the
CoTI web. Len has some good info there.
This sort of info is really excellent in pinpointing where (and when)
the farmer worked the land.
For locating the actual Townland I found the Ask About Ireland -
Griffith site v. useful. http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
They even have the old maps which show the actual farm within the
townland and you can overlay the modern map and invoke a satelite image.
Great stuff.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
Today I went to the nearest family history centre to view the tithes
for the Parish of Ballyclog in 1826. I was hoping to learn the exact
location of their land in Kilsally. But that doesn't seem to be the
case. The different columns seem to relate to the quality of the land
and then possibly the quantity of land of that quality. The four
Duffins are listed one after the other so presume are next to each
other. There is James, Mark, Patrick and David. I know that Patrick's
father was David and that James who emigrated had a brother Mark who
also supposedly emigrated although I can't find him anywhere in the
USA. Perhaps he didn't survive the trip. Or went elsewhere.
Can anyone explain how these records work?
Thank you
Peggy
