Thank you Wexflyer. This is all very helpful. I spent this morning looking thru all of the records for Higginbothams at the links you provided.

How big is a townland typically? How do you see in the tithe valuation that he occupied entire townland?

From what I’ve been able to find, it appears William Higginbotham raised several farm animals (piglets, calves, etc) plus grew high quality potatoes and also raised and raced horses. I believe William is the son of Mary Higginbotham who died in 1833. I believe she was living with her son after her husband John Higginbotham died in 1832 who was living in Coolinstudd (when he died).

Thank you. I'll check and see what I can find from Inland Revenue.

I found a probate record for John Higginbotham with Residence of Coolinstudd in the Ireland, Diocesan and Prerogative Wills & Administrations Indexes. Is there a place where I am be able to see the contents of his will? 

Probate: 1835, Ferns, County Wexford, Ireland

I am unable to locate Ryaheen on google maps. What would the current spelling be for that location or is there a current name for where she was from?

I think i figured it out: Ringaheen (Townland) in Civil Parish of Rathmacknee in Barony of Forth.

I found a record indicating that in the Waterford Chronicle in 1833 there is an entry for the death of Mrs. Mary Higginbotham, widow of John. I don't have access to the Waterford Chronicle historical papers so am wondering if someone would be able to find this for me. Her entry is the 5th one down on the attachment. Thank you!
