The Tithe Applotment books were compiled between 1823 and 1837 in order to determine the amount which occupiers of agricultural holdings should pay in tithes to the Church of Ireland (the main Protestant church, and the church established by the state until 1871). There is a manuscript book for almost every parish, giving the names of occupiers, the amount of land held, and the sums to be paid in tithes. The books for Northern Ireland are in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (P.R.O.N.I.), Belfast, but there are copies in the National Archives of Ireland and microfilm copies at the Family History Library. The Primary Valuation (also known as Griffith's Valuation) was carried out between 1847 and 1864. There is a printed valuation book for each poor law union, showing the names of occupiers of land and buildings, the names of persons from whom these were leased, and the amount and value of the property held. The Griffith’s Valuation identifies the townland address of the family after the Famine. Most of these resources are on microfilm and available at the Family History Library.
