1825 Tithe Applotment Book for the Parish of Ballymoney

Tithe was a tax on all agricultural land excepting only churchlands, glebes and urban areas. Until 1823, the tithe was paid in kind by the occupier of the land. The replacement of payment in kind by payment in cash resulted from a series of Tithe Composition Acts between 1823 and 1838. Valuations of the land had to be made by local surveyors and assessors and the results, arranged by civil parish and townland, were collected in volumes known as the Tithe Applotment Books.

The above paragraph is taken from the PRONI web site. Go to PRONI for more details on the Tithe Applotment Books.

Remember that the Tithe Applotment lists only the landholders (usually the leaseholders) in a townland. Whilst, probably the majority of people listed lived in the townland, some did not.
