Hi all, In order to help pinpoint the accuracy or relevance of the Griffith Valuation survey I did out this index of year surveyed by county. Griffiths Valuation 1848-1864 Index of Year Surveyed The survey started in Dublin and Waterford in 1848 and then worked up from Co Kerry & Cork moving northward and finished in Armagh in 1864.
