    1. Re: [GALWAY] Another 'Valuation List' question (Cathy HELP)
    2. Dear "Bewildered" I wish I hadn't started this! I think you need film numbers 835899 + 836495, NOT 835896 or 835903 When you click on: Valuation Lists Glennamaddy Rural District 1856-1941, and then "view film notes" you get a list of 11 entries,each preceeded by v 1-2 (etc) electoral district. Glennamaddy is v 9. You need v 6 Cloonkeen, and v 12-14 Kiltullagh and Scregg . Why? I hear you ask. Well, first of all there are 2 Carrowntober Easts ( and wests) One in Athenry parish,Galway PLU and the one you want, in Kilkerrin parish ,Glennamaddy PLU. So that gets rid of 835903,which covers Athenry. Next,Glennamaddy is a town in its own right ,as well as a PLU. It would take at least one film to cover just the town itself for nearly 90 years of changes. That's 835896 out of the way. The Revisions,like the censuses,are arranged in electoral districts,WITHIN each PLU. If you cross -reference with the 1911 census for the PARISH (in this case Kilkerrin) you will find each townland listed in its DED (District Electoral Division). Derreen Upper is in Cloonkeen DED Carrowntober east is in Kiltullagh DED Cloonkeen Eighter + Scregg East are in Scregg DED. So it seems to me,you would want the films that correspond to those electoral divisions. Does this make any sense? Cathy
