Paddy, I have photocopies for Clashduff (near Kilkishen) of the series you might be referring to when you said that the colored ink shows changes over the years since the GV. My set of pages, done at intervals between the GV and 1976, has such interlineations which are legible but only show a first and last name of the new property occupier. I have heard that some also has a year noted. These are generally known as the cancelled land books. So far as I know, the Valuation Office in Dublin will readily send those for any townland, but the fee is fairly hefty. I show below the National Archives description for both what Pat Connors described and for the series which I just described. Sharon Carberry "Other deposited Valuation Office records are the Field Books, House Books, Mill Books, Quarto Books, Record of Tenure Books and Miscellaneous Books, which relate to the preparation of the Primary Valuation and the earlier Townland Valuation. In addition, there are Letter Books 1827-94, Letter Registers 1850-61, records prepared under the Finance Act 1910, and Boundary Survey maps and registers relating to the determination and alteration of administrative boundaries 1826-41 and 1854-1925. The Cancelled Valuation Lists, or records of subsequent periodic revisions of the Primary Valuation, are still held in the Valuation Office, where they can be searched on payment of a fee. The annotated copies of Ordnance Survey maps associated with Griffith's Valuation have recently been transferred to the National Archives, where they are not yet available for inspection, but scanned copies can be viewed in the Valuation Office." http://homepage.eircom.net/~seanjmurphy/nai/puboffs.htm#Griffith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patrick Casey" <pcasey@compuserve.com> To: <irl-clare-projects@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 1:36 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-CLARE-PROJECTS] Project suggestions - Griffiths Valuation > > Pat, > > I have not seen these books but understand that the copies in the archives > in Dublin are full of remarks made with coloured pens and these remarks are > no longer as clearly visible in the microfilmed versions.
