Misfiled Parishes in the Tithe Applotment Books: Carnew (Wicklow & Wexford), Graney (Kildare), Kilrush (Wexford)

Tithe Applotment Books help fill the gaps left by Ireland’s missing Censuses, but several parishes were filed in the wrong counties. Spelling variation and poor transcriptions make finding them difficult. Three of these misfiled parishes are indexed here with modern spellings and links to each townland page on The National Archives of Ireland website: Graney, Co Kildare; Kilrush, Co Wexford; Carnew and Crosspatrick in Counties Wicklow & Wexford; and Kinneigh in Co. Cork **Updated to add Crosspatrick and Kinneigh**

The Styles Family, The Land War, and the shooting by Rev Usher of Baltinglass

“Margaret Styles, examined by Mr. McInerney, said she saw the Rev. Mr. Usher and Martin Flinter running on the night of the 26th of August. The Rev. Mr. Usher cried “stand” and then he fired and said, “Now, I have you.” There was another shot fired in the lane. There were three shots fired altogether.”

Edward Styles: a lawless ruffian from Ballyshonog, County Wicklow

The Styles moved south of Baltinglass in 1834. Newspapers gave a fascinating account of the Tithe War in the area, “BARONY OF RATHVILLY—Mobs are daily patrolling the country BLOWING HORNS, and threatening with death any person who attempts to serve a law process. That part of the country is completely under the dominion of those lawless ruffians.” I am certain this is exactly how Edward Styles would have wanted to be remembered.
