Irish Land Records

Richard Lynn Walker 1

During the 1800's, my ancestor was a tenant in Ireland. What can land records tell me about him and his family?

A very good question. One of the main resources given the lack of census records would be the Griffiths Valuation. This was a tax levied against any property circa 1860, and owner/lessor. It will only list the head of the family, no other members will be mentioned. If you know the county and approximate area the family lived it can be a very useful tool. One of the best sites for Griffiths is described in the url below, but be warned Griffiths can be a bit of an art form to get to grips with but can be very useful. You can find maps, homes, lots. Well worth a look.
