Popish inhabitants of the Half Barony Of Ikerrin in 1750
These records were extracted from The Irish Genealogist, volume 4, pages 578 - 583 "The Popish Inhabitants of the half Barony of Ikerrin in 1750 (transcriber not named), 1968 - 1973; transcript from MS.8913 lodged in the National Library of Ireland and in the library of Trinity College Dublin. Permission to use here from Kathy Adamson.
The number after the name is supposed to be the number of acres, but frankly I'm inclined to
think that it could be the fine/tax assessed at "the Sume of one farthing sterling for
every three Acres."

It was the practice of the time for the authorities to assess damage to property and losses by robbery due to
the activities of the Whiteboys and similar organisations, and to recover the value in cash by levying a
special tax or fine on all Roman Catholics in the district concerned - in this case the County of
Tipperary.
Below we have the return for the half barony of Ikerrin in that county, rendered by the High Constable, upon which the tax was to be based in proportion to the acreage held. The list of inhabitants and their holdings, by parishes, is followed by the warrent issued to the High Constable authorising him to proceed with the collection of the amount specified. A Duplicate of the popish inhabitants of the Half Barony of Ikerrin returned by James Hutchinson, High Coble of said half barony.
