Researching McAllister family of St Andrews RC Parish Dublin

Hello Maria,

Thanks for your message,

You could try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp  or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/    

The Tithe Applotment List might be of use to you, or at least interesting for you. These lists constitute the only nationwide survey for the period, and are valuable because the heaviest burden of the tithes to the Established Church, the Church of Ireland, fell on the poorest, for whom few other records survive. The information in the Tithes is quite basic, typically consisting of townland name, landholder's name, area of land and tithes payable. Many Books also record the landlord's name and an assessment of the economic productivity of the land. The tax payable was based on the average price of wheat and oats over the seven years up to 1823, and was levied at a different rate depending on the quality of land. For Parishes where the registers do not begin until after 1850, this information can be useful, as they are often the only surviving early records. They can provide valuable circumstantial evidence, especially where a holding passed from father to son in the period between the Tithe survey and Griffith's Valuation.

Trade directories from the time might provide the addresses, from which the McAllister tailors plied their trade.

Hi Maria

My name is Ann Kennedy & I'm from New Zealand, my Mother was Patricia McAllister- daughter of Cyril- son of Archibald-son of John (born about 1838) a wheel wright & blacksmith by trade who I first found record of in an 1862 electoral roll for the Gabriels Gully gold mine in the South Island.

This is a link to information I have found about him & our family, not sure if we are related but could well be, as I'm not sure how or when this John arrived in New Zealand.
