Sale of Land

[Kerrill]

I am trying to trace a Patrick Gavin who was born 18 march 1865 in Doonane, Galway , the story I was told is that he sold some land to a John Fahy  then went to England but with no dates as to when he did this I am struggling trying to find him, I do have his birth cert and his mother was Margaret Kelly and his father Michael Gavin. What I want to know is if he sold the land  would there be any records available to show this, then I would have a date to go by.

Valuations Revision Books would allow you to narrow down the date-

The Cancelled Books and the Current Land Books for the Republic of Ireland are available to personal callers at the Valuation Office, Irish Life Centre, Lower Abbey Street, Dublin 1. They are not online. The collection is gradually being scanned, county by county. As each county is finished, the manuscript books are being moved to storage and visitors are offered only the scanned copies to view on computer terminals.
At July 2021, nineteen counties and three cities had been scanned, so the project is at least three-quarters completed.
The Valuation Office plans to complete the digitisation and upload the searchable copies to an online database by the end of 2023. This database, like that for Northern Ireland's Revision Books held by PRONI, will be free to access.
