"Snata Cooper" townland, Kilscoran Parish

WexfordKilscoran (Wexford)

Does anyone know what "Snata" (sic) means or where it was? It is transcribed as a townland in the Wexford Tithe Applotments?

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Normally, I try to match the people listed in the Tithes to the Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for the parish. However, none of the names on the Tithe listing map to the 1853 Griffiths for Kilscoran. Townlands were not officially standardized until the 1851 census. Actually there were a number of place names in the Tithes which did not carryover to the Griffiths and the offical townland list. Maybe someone else will be more helpful.

Part of that section of the Tithe transcripts has incorrectly merged details of two civil parishes together - some of the places included are in Kilscoran Co. Wexford, while others are in Kilseily in Co. Clare. Those in Kilseily include Woodfield, Violethill, Aghaclare and "Snaty (Cooper)"

See the header page on the Tithe images, a few pages earlier - http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab//004625686/004625686_00691.pdf

Thank you so much! I was totally stumped, and yes it does seem to be in Co Clare
