Hugh Hough listed in Tithe Appointment Book, Clonkelly (Townland), Birr (Parrish), County Kings now Offaly)
- The Tithe Applotment Books are a vital source for genealogical research for the pre-Famine period, given the loss of the 1821-51 Census records. They were compiled between 1823 and 1837 in order to determine the amount which occupiers of agricultural holdings over one acre should pay in tithes to the Church of Ireland (the main Protestant church and the church established by the State until its dis-establishment in 1871).

Nov 19, 1863
Baptism of Robert Hough son of Robert Hough and Maria (?) McCarthy. If this is our folks, it may be that Maria is Hanoras middle name or it may be a mis-recording. Baptism takes palce This could be the first child of Robert Hough & Hanora Mccarthy (Im guessing there werent two Roberts in the same parish Knockaderry, County Limerick) That would mean the name Maria (McCarthy) was a mis-recording or transcription error or she went by her middle name on either the marriage cert or this baptismal cert. The loss of this child may also be
part of why they left Ireland
