I have received a copy of a page from the 1824 Tithe Composition Book for the Parish of Ballimtemple in Co. Wicklow. My gggg-grandfather is John Dillon who married Sarah Byrne. Other names listed on the page are:

#17 William Grant
#18 Patrick Grant
#19 Garret Graham, Mich'l Kehoe & Peter Kehoe
#20 Miles O'Neill(I think, hard to read)
#21 Alexander Doyle & John Doyle
#22 Peter & Mich'l Kehoe
#23 William Rossil (Russell or Rozell)
#24 Thomas Kehoe
#25 George Rossil
#26 JOHN DILLON & Bryan Kavana (probably Kavanagh/Cavana)
#27 Patrick Toole
#28 Daniel Kavana

I have no other information on these names, but many of the surnames appear as godparents to John Dillon's children.(John married a Sarah Byrne)
Anyone who may be connected with these names please contact me. John Dillon's grandson, also a John, married a Jane Kehoe in 1868 and on the marriage record they are listed as "3rd & 4th cousins, respectively". Jane Kehoe's parents were John Kehoe/Keogh married Bridget Carey in 1840.

Children of John Dillon and Sarah Byrne:

William bapt. 1818 godparents Bryan Cavanagh & Sarah Rozell
