Hello Jill,

Griffiths Valuation of Ireland took place in each county of Ireland between
1848 - 64  It was a survey of land occupation to determine the amount of
tax a landowner or occupier should pay towards the support of the Poor
Law System.

The Valuation shows the Surname, Forename, Town or Townland, Parish
and Poor Law Union of individuals. Heads of household only are named.
The Valuation is used as a Census Substitute. http://www.proni.gov.uk/records/census18.htm In the Valuations a person owning or leasing property in more than one townland will appear separately for each townland. The type of property held (i.e. house, garden, office or acreage of land), its valuation and map reference numbers are not included and the printed valuation will have to be consulted for this information.

All the Best,

Christopher
