Just a quick heads up that for the last two days I have been having problems in accessing Northern Irish tithe applotment books via the eCatalogue on the PRONI website (https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/services/search-pronis-ecatalogue). One of my Pharos students has also commented that he is unable to gain access. I have contacted the archive, hopefully they will be accessible again soon. I have also checked the ED/1 National Education Commisioners Grant Aid Application records, and am having the same problem.
In the meantime, some of the northern tithe applotment records have been indexed online at Ancestry's Ireland, Tithe Applotment Books, 1805-1837 collection, although this is incomplete and only provides names, townlands, parishes and counties of residence, with no information on the extent of the land held, valuation or tithe payment due.
UPDATE 3 May: The records are now accessible once again, A big thanks to PRONI for resolving this so quickly after the Bank Holiday weekend.
