Griffiths Primary Valuation was compiled and published between 1848 and 1864. It lists every landholder and every householder in Ireland. If an ancestor owned or leased land, they will have been listed here. To search the Valuation records requires the following information - Surname, Forename and Townland/County. Information on other members of the family can ensure finding the correct records.
When the correct landholding record is found, this will have the following details:
- townland address
- householders name
- who the property was leased from (immediate lessor)
- description of the property;
- acreage;
- valuation.
When the correct landholding is found, a townland map showing its exact location can also be ordered.
Genealogy Tip: Often, landholdings passed from father to son, parent to child, or were sold to another close relation. It is possible to see who inherited the land or owned it afterwards by looking at the Valuation Office Revision Books.
Genealogy Tip: If you are unsure of the spelling of a townland, or you want to know where the townland is, use the Irish Placename Search facility.
