Hello to all, Does anyone on list have any first hand experience with viewing the lists of tenants sometimes found in the Landed Estate Records? As the years are so close to Griffiths Valuation and continue till the 1880s (a period for which there are post Valuation records detailing the occupier who paid the rent and to whom the property was later passed on ) I'm wondering if these are a worthwhile source, offering any NEW information? If they detail ALL who lived in the small townland for sale, then that would surely be a reason to hunt them down. The National Archives holds an index, arranged by townland...mine are said to be amongst the holdings...a friend is going over to Ireland and offered to spare me an hour of research. I'm tempted...but his time will be so very limited, I do not want to waste it. ANYone who's tried these records...Kindly enlighten the rest of us.
