    1. Griffith's Valuation help needed
    2. Judy
    3. Hi, Recently found in Griffith's was John George, 1856-1857, Rivory, Urney, Cavan. From an LDS submission, John George and Martha Anderson were married in Eglish Parish, Armagh, 1844. Searching Eglish, Armagh finds the surname Anderson, but not George. They had 2 daughters that I know of; Martha and Sarah born c. 1854 and c. 1860 respectively. Both daughters were in Canada during the middle 1870's and on one marriage certificate listed her birthplace as Rivory (or something resembling that) Ireland. In an LDS film (Quarterly returns of births in Ireland) the birth of George (no first name), father John George, mother Martha Anderson in Belturbet, Cavan, 1865 can be found. The message attached to this entry is "An extracted birth or christening record from Irish civil registration records. The place listed is the county, registration district, and page number of the birth entry; it may not be the actual birthplace." A transcription of the Anglo-Celt, Feb. 4, 1848 contains "ADDRESS TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD FARNHAM, K.P." beginning the article with "We, the undersigned Magistrates and Landed Proprietors of the County of Cavan..........." The first signature on the address is John George, Armagh. Many signatures have J.P. following the name. Is it a reasonable assumption that because John George does not have that designation, he woud have been a landed proprietor? And if he is, why would Armagh follow his name rather than Cavan? If anyone has any theories, pointers, explanations or resources I may check to verify any of this information, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
