Finding ancestors home addresses in the early 1800s

[tlon3306]

My ancestors the Heffernans lived in Gortnahoe in the early 1800s / then in Ballynonty - is there any way to find out where they actually lived - as in a street address - I would like to visit the places if they still exist.
Thank you in advance for any help

Early 1800s Irish 'records' that show their address?..... only if your ancestors had a trade and you can find a directory for that time/area where they lived. Court/petty session records, newspaper stories about them which mention their address..... early 1800s it is difficult to find lots of records, you would need to look at parish records and they don't have have an address on them

There weren't 'street addresses' in most of Ireland for that period except in cities in towns. The townland would have been the address for rural areas. If you can find the property in Griffith's Valuation (mid-1800s) then you should be able to locate it on the accompanying maps and find the present location.
