Griffith’s Valuation This 1848-1864 valuation gives a complete list of occupiers of land, tenements and houses. Also known as the Primary Valuation of Ireland, it is arranged by counties and within counties by Poor Law, Union Divisions and within Unions by parishes. It includes the following information: townland address; householder's name; name of the person from whom the property was leased; description of the property; acreage; valuation. There are maps to accompany this valuation. On the maps are references to tenements and houses, which correspond to names listed on the valuation books. Thus it is possible to discover the homesteads of ancestors in the mid 19th century. Whenever a map reference is sent to me I will check for its exact location on the original Griffith’s Valuation maps. I can then proved an 1835 townland map with the location marked thereon. I can provide this service for any location in Ulster (nine counties). Further details from: [email protected] website: www.smccartan.utvinternet.com/INDEX.HTML
