• General Notes

  Unfortunately, there is neither a townland called Drumborisk nor a parish called Currin in the online Tithe Applotment Books at either the National Archives of Ireland website nor at the FamilySearch website (which seem to be copies of each other).  However, two adjacent townlands ARE there.
  Parish of Aghabog:
  There is an Edward Mackey in Doohat, holding 2/3/11 arps.
  Surname    Forename    Townland/Street    Parish    County    Year
  Mackey    Edward    Doohatt    Aghabog    Monaghan    1833
  There is a Pat Mackay (yes, with an "a") in Glen.
  However, the County Monaghan website DOES show the following Mackeys in Monaghan:
  Mackey    Christy    11    Donnyluck
  Mackey    Edward    17    Drumborish
  Mackey    Edward    21    Drumborish
  Mackey    John    19    Drumborish
  Mackey    Will    9    Donnyluck
  Mackey    Will    18    Drumborish
  This is not unusual.  There was often more than one TAB and therefore depending on which version was being copied, a complete parish could be missing, or just several townlands.  On the other hand, how did Doohat and Glen end up in another parish, Aghabog, but not adjacent Drumborisk?!
