Tithe Applotment Books: Ardquin Parish, County Down
You are here - Irish Genealogy Hub - Down Genealogy - Ardquin Tithe Applotments Tithe Applotment Records in Ardquin ParishThe Tithe Applotment Books in Ardquin parish and throughout the entire country record the results of a unique land survey taken to determine the amount of tax payable by landholders to the Church of Ireland. They are known as the Tithe Applotment Books because the results of this land survey were originally compiled in nearly 2,000 hand-written books. This data set represents a virtual census for pre-Famine Ireland and as it covered most of the country it is very important for historians and genealogists researching family origins or the history of specific areas. The Tithe Applotments created a lot of civil unrest in Ireland especially from the Catholic population as they vigorously disagreed to paying taxes to a Protestant church. The Tithe Applotments were carried out in Ardquin Parish in 1833. |
