Ireland GenWeb - County Tipperary Facts & Maps

Civil parishes are important units for records purposes. They generally contain around 25 to 30 townlands, as well as towns and villages. In many cases, civil parishes straddle county and barony boundaries. Another confusing aspect is that some civil parishes are in several geographically separate parts. If you are researching tithes applotments, they are arranged by civil parishes, as are the Griffith's Valuations and Church of Ireland church registers.

This section of the County Tipperary website is growing and civil parish webpages will be added periodically. Each webpage, will give the barony, poor law union, Catholic diocese and parish for each civil parish plus all the townlands found in the civil parish, as defined in the 1851 Townland Index with links to their webpages. Also included are LDS film numbers for the tithes, GVs, 1901 & 1911 Ireland Indexes, plus links and surnames. Descriptions from the Topographical Dictionary of Ireland by Samuel Lewis (1837) are included and pictures of the area as contributed by readers.

There are webpages for all the green colored-in civil parishes, see links below. For each civil parish webpage, there are also pages and links to all the townlands in the parish, plus the Samuel Lewis 1837 description of the parish. Each page also includes links, Family History Library films' titles and numbers plus a surname registry. Many also have maps with all the townlands delineated. This is a huge county and help with this project would certainly be appreciated. If you would like to adopt a civil parish, and I'll let you know what is needed. You get to pick any civil parish that is not already done.
