The Tithe Applotment books or records were land-based tax assessments placed on the occupiers and owners of land, taken from 1823–1837. Fifty-five percent of the parishes had been surveyed by 1830. The records list the names of the tenants, townlands, area by acreage, valuation of the property and the amount of the tithe payable. The Tithe Composition Acts required that payments be made in cash, rather than in-kind. The money collected went to the clergy of the Church of Ireland parish. | The Tithe Applotment books or records were land-based tax assessments placed on the occupiers and owners of land, taken from 1823–1837.

The common mistake made by researchers is to cease the search after locating a potential ancestor in Griffith's Valuation.
