G&T: O’Connor Dromultan

Tithe Applotment Books & Family O'Connor, Dromulton

Updated 26/06/2020

It has been said that the O’Connor Family Dromultan lived on the farm ‘Below the Church' beside Scartaglin Village before they settled at Dromultan.  It is thought that John O'Connor who Married Hanora Browne (From ? Mullin Scartaglin) is the first recorded member of our Dromultan O'Connor Family. John/Hanora had the following children - Daniel (B1852), David B1853, Edmond B1855, Elizabeth B1856, John B1858, Joanna B1859 and Hanora B1861. One of the boys died young and tragically when a shotgun discharged accidentally. He and a 'servant' lad had seen rabbits and then both ran to get a gun that was kept in a ditch. In the race the gun went off and one of the O'Connor boys got shot and died.

Edmond is the Father of David Ned O'Connor who Married Kate 'Jim' O'Leary from Mount Scartaglin. David Ned and Kate 'Jim' O'Leary lived on the O'Leary Farm at Mount Scartaglin.

There are no O'Connor/Connor Surnames recorded as either tenant or land sub-lettor in the Tithe Applotment Books at Dromultan.

Valuation Office books 1824-1856  (Website Extract- The National Archives Of Ireland)

''....The printed volumes of the Primary (or Griffith’s) Valuation, the record of Ireland’s first comprehensive property tax, have been available online for many years now, and are a crucial part of the genealogical infrastructure for the mid-nineteenth century. The records which underlie and inform the printed valuation have never been digitised until now, and they contain more information about households and landholding than can be found in the printed version. There are four distinct kinds of books involved with a General Note to start and then move on to the four book descriptions linked below....''

General Note
Field Books          The Field Books date between 1830 and the mid-1850s.

Griffith's Valuation Revision Records & Family O'Connor, circa 1855-1977 

In Relation to the townlands Dromulton (Castleisland & Killeentierna Parishes Separately) - for the years circa 1858 - 1977 - we have obtained the Griffith's Valuation Revision Records from the Valuations Office in Dublin thanks to Stephen Nolan who works there. Those documents are very informative and make for exciting reading.
We attach a link to those documents below - in PDF format - for you to explore with relevant maps for that period - in addition (above) to the original 1853 Griffith's Maps for cross-reference. In the Revision Record documents, look across to the 'Observation' column for the associated details and the year of reference for that particular line event.

NOTE: As time progressed from 1853, when the tenant/landlord details changed and an old valuations record was changed/updated, a line was simply drawn through the old entry on the Griffith's Valuation Records and the new record entry was written in above the old posting. Similar Ink colour and pen type & print is important to distinguish and help in linking related events. We will be adding to the narrative in this section as soon as we better decipher and understand those Revision documents. The revision documents allow us to attach a timeframe to where/when our O’Connor ancestors rented/farmed land.

The Griffiths Revision Records are the most interesting ancestral records and provide actual records of where/who Rented/Inherited/Owned/Sublet land post 1858 and in most cases up until 1977. The MAPS are also very valuable evidence as you can determine where exactly families lived and farmed land. That information is now accessible below for the 'townlands' of Dromulton.
