The first column on the Griffith's Valuation tables is the map reference. These are letters and numbers that correspond to numbers and letters appearing on the Valuation maps. The appropriate individual map is referenced as an O.S. number underneath the townland name in the second column, and then underneath it the names of occupiers of each property. See http://www.iol.ie/~kevelighan/Scans/Griffith%20Valuation%201858.jpg for an example of a page from Griffith's Valuation. These property numbers do not appear on the Ordnance Survey maps. They are only on the maps at the Valuation Office in Dublin. You can compare the Valuation maps with the modern Ordnance Survey maps to identify where a property was at the time of Griffith's Valuation. You do this by looking at the landscape, roads, rivers, and other geographical features on the old and new maps. See http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/tipp/OS68map.jpeg for an example of a Valuation Office map.

I was looking for Ballyglass, County Cork on this site but they did not have any info. Do you know where Ballyglass is located or does it not exist any more. Any help will be appreciated.
