Ireland Census Substitutes: Difference between revisions

The Tithe Applotment 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. This record was indexed by surname in the Householder's Index created by the staff of the National Library. The original records are in the National Archives of Ireland, Dublin. The 273 volumes for Northern Ireland were deposited in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, Belfast. See the [[Ireland_Taxation|Ireland Taxation]] section.
