Title: column headings on handwritten Tithe Applotment forms
Post by: whitehound on Sunday 09 March 14 19:43 GMT (UK)

The Irish Tithe Applotment Books are handwritten, and no two researchers seem to have used the same layout or column headings.  Can anybody read this lot?

First block - ????????
Second block - Total Acres
Third block - rate per acre
Fourth block - amt of Composition (I *think* that's "amount" but wouldn't swear to it)
Fifth block - Total on each ??
Sixth block - Grand total

"Lot as numbered on map" for the 1st column I think and "total on each lot" for the 5th. The rest I agree with.

Must say, I love the flourish on the 'G' for grand! ;D
