Hi . . . 

Welcome to ireland Reaching Out . . . to Tipperary . . . and the Town of Roscrea . . . 

https://www.townlands.ie/

When I searched the above site . . . I could not locate . . . any of the given Townslands . . . 3. . . with their various spellings . . . 

BUT . . . you did mention " Tipperary " together with " Damer " . . . which would indicate North Tipperary and Laoise . . . and the Town of Roscrea . . and the area of Portarlington . . . . 

where Lord Portarlington ( i.e. Damer ) ...had many holdings  (see below )

We have here . . . a few miles from the Town of Roscrea . . . a " Knock " Village . . . could this be the abbreviated version of your Townslands

also there is a Knock Spink in Laoise . . . https://www.townlands.ie/laois/portarlington/

I checked " Griffiths Valuations " . . . for those . . . nothing . . . not evan a Knock ...anything . .

AND . . . after all that . . I went back to " Tithes Applotments " . . . 1823 -1837  . . . 

and FOUND your Townsland . . .

Here you will see Lady Damer has holdings . . at " Knockvelough " -

Thanks to all who directed me to Knockphelagh as its name changed to. I was looking to see if this Evans family who were related to the Smithwick family were settled in Co. Tipperary near to their relatives and they were close to those in PegsBorough, Pallas and Golden. Thanks for helpful and very prompt reply.
