Tithe Applotment Books -- "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)."

So, Bryan has to pay a fair amount (or unfair!) to the Church of Ireland, even though he is Catholic!
Notes: alternate spelling for Derreentighe as "Derreenatigue". Also, no Grady's present there (or, they did not own greater than one acre or arable land)
You are so good at the research Thomas...seeing the names just makes them more real....Thanks
