Ballyingly
descriptions from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
BALLYINGLEY, a parish in the barony of SHELMALIER, county of WEXFORD, and province of LEINSTER, 5 miles (S.W. by S.) from Taghmon; containing 204 inhabitants.
This parish is situated on the east bank of the river Scar, and contains 746 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act. By a return to a regal visitation in 1615, it appears to have been one of the mensals of the Bishop of Ferns, which it still continues to be.
It is one of six parishes that constitute the union of Horetown, in the diocese of Ferns: the tithes amount to £31 16s. 11¼d., of which £21 4s. 7½d., is paid to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and £10 12s. 3 ¾ d., to the incumbent. The church is in ruins.
The parish is
within the R.C. district of Ballymitty
