The Joseph Conn in the photograph lived in London. His father was from Armagh, which is where the Conns I have information about were from originally. Joseph is a common first name in the various families.

The name was originally Wason, but then became Wasson.  In Ballyarnett Presbyterian Church records family members were baptised Wason, but then used the name Wasson.  So the family in the Griffith's Valuation and in Drumhaggart graveyard are the same.

It was in the patronage of the Bishop of Raphoe, and you could perhaps ask if it was anything to do with that.

Apparently there are no tithe applotment books for Glencolumbkille, only the certificate giving the total value of the tithes.

joemc,

I think I may have found what happened.  I looked up the tithe applotments for Burry Meath on the National Archives site, and on the last page there is a John Boyd with no townland beside him.  If you click on his name you find a page with the breakdown of the tithes.  Against Drumhaggart and Gortcormacan there is only untithable land, so the residents mustn't have had to pay tithes.
Thanks again, as I would never have thought it would have been under Meath.

Regards

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone would know if there are Tithe Applotment books available for the townland of Drumhaggart.  It lies between the villages of Burnfoot and Muff.  The person I am looking for is John Wason.

Thanks

World War One / Joseph Conn, King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

This is a postcard from Munster 1 POW camp with Private Joseph Conn, 2nd Battalion King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, in the centre.

Regimental number: 10550

Date of enlisting 18 December 1911

I would like to find out where he enlisted, as there are two Joseph Conns in my family tree who were the same age, and I don't know which one this is.  One was from Ireland and the other from London. 

Hope someone can help.
