  Research Notes:

IRISH ROOTS

The ancestry of Charles is hazy in the extreme.

The earliest marriage record available for a Vallely with the Christian name Charles, is for a Charles Valely [sic] married to a Mary Magorman in Upper Creggan, County Armagh in 1796; the earliest baptism for a Charles Vallely available is in 1822 in County Tyrone.

This family name has a substantial record of being connected to County Tyrone. A man called Henry Vallely, not a Christian name that has appeared in this family so far, was recorded in the 1796 Irish Flax Growers List in County Tyrone. In the Irish Religious Census of 1766 a man of the same name, Henry Vallely, was recorded as a Catholic in the townland of Currin, in the parish of Tullaniskan, County Tyrone. It came within the Roman Catholic Diocese of County Armagh. Although Henry is not a name occurring in this Vallely family recorded here, both Charles and Henry were names closely associated with the Stuart cause in the eighteenth century.

A quotation from http://www.magoo.com/hugh/tyronecoal.html about coal mining and canal building in the eighteenth and nineteenth century takes us further:

"There is a significant coal field in the area of Drumglass and Coalisland in the barony of Dungannon, county Tyrone, Ireland. The civil parishes in which this coal field exists are Dungannon, Tullyniskan to the northeast of Dungannon, and Donaghenry to the northeast of Tullyniskan. The town of Coalisland is located in Tullyniskan and Donaghenry A canal from the coal field to the Blackwater river, which in turn enters Lough Neagh to the east, was dug through Tullyniskan parish and Clonoe parish, which is to the west of Tullyniskan and southwest of Donaghenry."

In the same townland of Currin, also spelt as Curran, the 1766 Religious census records a James and a Roger Vallely, both Catholics, and a Patrick Vallely, a Protestant.

The Index to the Tithe Applotment Book of 1826 for Tullyniskan Parish also includes some of the Vallely family:
1
John Vallely of Cullion Townland
2
Unnamed Vallily of Drumey and Woodhill Townland
3
Edward Vallily of Derry Townland (not to be confused with Londonderry)
4
Henry Vallily of Lower Drumreagh Townland

The village of Edendork seems to be the old townland of Currin or Curran. in modern maps it lies on the main road A45 between Dundannon and Coalisland. It's three or four miles from Clonoe.

LINKS TO OTHER VALLELY FAMILIES

There are families listed elsewhere in who very likely have some relationship to this family of Vallelys by blood or marriage, but who have not yet been proved to do so.

They may have a common ancestor, or some other relative may link them in a way that is still not visible. Their common relative have some distinct things in common.

They appear to have a strong connection with County Tyrone, Ireland, although some are connected to Armagh, a neighbouring county. They may have specific Christian names, or particular places, in common as well as their surnames. Even if we do not yet have the documents to unlock the details of what their connections are with each other, we should look out in our research for anything that may be of importance in linking them.

It should also be noted that the Vallelys in this family tree, like the McConaghys, have connections with the McAlindons.

TITHES

"Tithes were an income tax on farming - usually about one tenth of the annual income. These were used for the upkeep of the Church of Ireland and were paid from the time of the Reformation. Before the Composition Act of 1823 it was possible to pay them in kind in stead of money. From the time of the Composition Act they were supposed to be paid in cash and Tithe surveys were carried out in each Parish to assess what the income for that parish would be. Two people were appointed by each parish to carry out this assessment.
Both Catholics and Protestants resented this tax - tax was not payable on all land, and there was even variation on the types of land from place to place. From 1736 grazing land had an exemption - this was usually land held by landlords. Certain crops were taxable, others weren't. Potatoes could be taxable in one parish and not in the one next door.
Tithe books are not comprehensive, people who did not hold land are not listed and some types of land were passed over absolutely. Towns and cities were usually not assessed.
They are arranged by Townland and usually give the acreage held by each farmer. However, note here that the measurement used was the plantation or Irish acre which differs in size from the imperial or English acre used in the Griffith's Valuation.
The information you get from the Tithe Books is simple, townland name; landholders name; area of land and tithes paid. Some will list the landlords name as well. The original tithe books for the 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland are held in the National Archives in Dublin."
