KerryDuagh (Kerry)

Hi Steve,

 

Just wondering if there are any tithe applotment Books for Duagh, I have checked but cant seem to locate Duagh or Claunmaurice or Lybes.?  My fathers ancestors came from Lybes in Duagh.

 

Thanks Doreen

Yes there are Tithe Applotment books for Duagh. I can access them through my Ancestry International membership. 

I have a relative that hired a genealogist in Ireland who provided him with images of entries in the actual book that were much more informative and detailed than any database I have seen.

I'll gladly look up anything you like on Ancestry?just give me the details!

There are issues with accuracy of index and locations listed. That said this may be worth checking out :-

Hi Steve, 

 

I was looking on http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp and just wondered why Duagh is not listed.    Griffiths Valuation Record Information is as follows.  I am assuming this is the correct connection as I know from Census info that my family came from Lybes, and this is the only listing for McElligott in Lybes.  It would be great if you could look up tithe applotment books for me, as he is listed as having had land.  Just wondering also if Duagh is having a gathering this year?

Thanks

Doreen

Hi Steve,

Thanks, must renew my membership with an Ancestry's.  Nothing for Lybes there but thanks for looking for me.

You can't be sure that "Mountain" and "Springmount" are not in Lybes. They aren't among the standard townland names for Duagh. A local might know what these names refer to, but unfortunately I am not a local, as I am in the United States.
