Hi Sue,
St Marys is both a Parish and an electoral district.Glenagad is a townsland ,A sub division of a parish.
In the 1851 Griffiths Valuation there is a record of a Margaret Bates and a Roger Bates living in Glenagad. Now these would have been two different famillies, as Griffiths records the head of the family only.
I know the name you are looking for is Betts but as you know in the 19th cent spellings changed over and back. However Betts is a name found in the area so these may not be your ansestors. The town of Clonmel straddles Counties Tipperary and Waterford.
Yours Michael
