New Clare Records Online

28th November 2022 By Brendan Scott

We are delighted to announce the addition of almost 27,000 names from the Tithe Applotment Books covering all of County Clare dating from 1824-43.

The Tithe Applotment Books are a vital source for genealogical research for the pre-Famine period, given the loss of most of the nineteenth-century census records. They were compiled in order to determine the amount which occupiers of agricultural holdings over one acre should pay in tithes to the Church of Ireland.
