Cess Payers of Killincoole

Parish, 1833

By Noel Ross

The list printed below is taken from the vestry minute book of the parish of Killincoole. Similar

lists for the parishes of Dromiskin (1791),1 Dunleer (1786-92),2 and Stabannon and Richardstown

(1801)3 have already been published. The Killincoole list is later than these, having been compiled in

the last year in which church cess was levied before its abolition by the Church Temporalities (Ireland)

Act, 1833 (3 & 4 Will. IV, c. 37). The parish of Killincoole consisted of only three townlands: Allardstown, Killincoole, and the

greater part of Rathneety.4 A document inserted loosely into the minute book and dated 27 March

1826 gives the acreages of these townlands as set out in the first column of the table. Column two

shows the same figures converted into statute measure and the third column gives the acreages

according to the first edition of the six-inch Ordnance Survey map, sheet 11, surveyed in 1835.
