Hi guys
As Marion and Len have pointed out, we are in luck, with regard to the parish of Urney which straddles the county border between Tyrone and Donegal. Images for Urneys Tithe Applotment Books are (freely) online at the National Archives of Ireland. These images include townlands actually forming part of co. Tyrone. * See further at http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/introduction-to-genealogy/ The record date is 1st October 1827. If you get access to 2 images, please do consult both of them as the images are different. * There are 2 images for my 3-greats-grandfather Hugh Knox of Urney who died at Urney, co. Tyrone, on 22 June 1852. The second image confirms his association with the townland of Stephenstown which is where 2 of his sons were located in later years. * See (e.g.) http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?surna me=Knox+ <http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?surn ame=Knox+&firstname=Hugh+&county=&parish=Urney&townland=&search=Search> &firstname=Hugh+&county=&parish=Urney&townland=&search=Search Warm regards Dave Mitchell Cape Town South Africa From: CoTyroneList <cotyronelist-boun...@cotyroneireland.com> On Behalf Of Len Swindley Sent: 24 May 2018 02:07 PM To: CoTyroneIreland.com Mailing List <cotyronelist@cotyroneireland.com>; boydgra...@gmail.com; Marion <marionsheph...@btinternet.com> Subject: Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] Griffith's Valuation Online Hello all, I feel it necessary to alert Urney parish researchers that the map included in the film of the Urney Tithe Applotment Book (an amalgamation of two books Urney and Derg) is not of Urney, Cos. Tyrone and Donegal, but of a parish of the same name in Co. Cavan. The staff of the National Archives of Ireland, Dublin were alerted some years ago, but the error has yet to be been rectified.

As you say, the TABs are essential for researching the previous generation and the only place to find them for Tyrone is at CTI, where you have transcribed them. And they are essential viewing IF you know which parish to research. However, I am often searching for a family in the 1820s/30s where the only location known is Co Tyrone. This is easy for the GV as the website allows one to search by county but I cannot do that with the CTI database. How hard would it be to merge the TAB data which is currently divided by parish, into a database covering the whole of Tyrone which would then be easily searchable. Think the Hacketts in that email we commented upon yesterday.

Remember that phonetic spelling of family names was most common in Griffiths, so it is useful to consider variations in spelling. The facility to upload data and photographs has been available since 2011 Also, the indexed Tithe Applotment Books of the 1820s and 1830s for Co. Tyrone are essential for researching the previous generation: the most extensive database for all Tyrone parishes is available on the CountyTyroneIreland website http://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/titheindex.html I hope that you have found some useful data amongst the many files on CTI.

This time I noticed the option to add information, photos, etc., to the record. Is this new or have I suddenly opened my eyes to something that has been there all along? It's a great idea.
