[Vetter4]

I am trying to find where my dads homestead is actually located. I have been at this for days
Been to archives. National and Cavan. Tried calling land registry.
It is from either cencus  In county Cavan, in Lisgrea (Virginia). Only house number.

Hi .welcome to Rootschat.
Are there any named properties on other pages that might be found.
The enumeraters route on the first page might help.
I'm not familiar with Irish census though.

He was not born yet in 1901 but his family was living there. One of his brothers was Thomas Farrelly

The numbers on the 1901 and  1911 census are form numbers not house numbers.
So if this is the family in 1901
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cavan/Virginia/Lisgrea/1052916/
This I believe is the family in 1911
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cavan/Virginia/Lisgrea/350243/

By 1911 James has died leaving his wife is Mary (Fitzsimons) as head of the family.
Thomas birth 1900

James and Mary married in 1882

The house and building return will give you an idea of what type of house it was
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000438288/
James father was Laurence, so he MAY be the Laurence Farrelly listed in Griffith's Valuation at 23a
which you can find on Ask About Ireland but there are quite a few Farrelly in the area.
The map will show the farm and the position of the house.

The Land Registry should be able to follow through on the townland and plot number, the form number from the Census or the name James Farrelly isn't any use to them.

I could have the wrong family in 1911 I only looked at a couple of births.
James died 1903 before the youngest child John was born is that in keeping with what you know about the family?

How do I look up on griffins with the number you gave me

[Sinann]

You don't use the number.
Search for Farrelly Laurence or you can leave out the first name to see all the Farrelly entries.
County Cavan
Parish Lurgan

Yea. Had done all that. Doesn’t really help to locate the property.

Did about as much as I could.

Did an satellite view on google Ireland maps and saw a few places could be based on my other searches

Thanks for your help

Did you look at the map on Griffith's Valuation? Although Find My Past has a better one.
