I have found references to this Townland in a number of deeds dating from 1730s to 1790s. Land granted is often in Townland of Kilsaliagh or Klisallagh. Damer is the grantor

Hi . . .
Welcome to ireland Reaching Out . . . to Tipperary . . . and the Town of Roscrea . . .
When I searched the above site . . . I could not locate . . . any of the given Townslands . . . 3. . . with their various spellings . . .
BUT . . . you did mention " Tipperary " together with " Damer " . . . which would indicate North Tipperary and Laoise . . . and the Town of Roscrea . . and the area of Portarlington . . . .
where Lord Portarlington ( i.e. Damer ) ...had many holdings (see below )
We have here . . . a few miles from the Town of Roscrea . . . a " Knock " Village . . . could this be the abbreviated version of your Townslands
also there is a Knock Spink in Laoise . . . https://www.townlands.ie/laois/portarlington/
I checked " Griffiths Valuations " . . . for those . . . nothing . . . not evan a Knock ...anything . .

AND . . . after all that . . I went back to " Tithes Applotments " . . . 1823 -1837 . . .
and FOUND your Townsland . . .
Here you will see Lady Damer has holdings . . at " Knockvelough " -

So. . . back to you . . . can you find the Parish of Solloghodmore . . .??????

Solloghod-More is a civil parish in Tipperary, and this link gives a list of townlands in that parish: https://www.townlands.ie/tipperary/solloghod-more/
That list includes a townland called Knockphelagh, which may be the one you want. If so, you can see more info about that townland here: https://www.townlands.ie/tipperary/clanwilliam/solloghod-more/drumwood/…

Thanks to all who directed me to Knockphelagh as its name changed to. I was looking to see if this Evans family who were related to the Smithwick family were settled in Co. Tipperary near to their relatives and they were close to those in PegsBorough, Pallas and Golden. Thanks for helpful and very prompt reply.
