 Field and Tenure Book Records - Background. 

Valuation Office books 1824-1856  (Website Extract- The National Archives Of Ireland)

''....The printed volumes of the Primary (or Griffith’s) Valuation, the record of Ireland’s first comprehensive property tax, have been available online for many years now, and are a crucial part of the genealogical infrastructure for the mid-nineteenth century. The records which underlie and inform the printed valuation have never been digitised until now, and they contain more information about households and landholding than can be found in the printed version. There are four distinct kinds of books involved with a General Note to start and then move on to the four book descriptions linked below....''

Griffiths Valuation Revision Records & Family Brosnan, circa 1859-1977 

Revision Documents Will Be Added Soon

NOTE: As time progressed from 1853, when a tenant/landlord changed and an old valuations record was changed/updated, a line was simply drawn through the old entry on the Griffiths Valuation Records and the new record entry was written in above the old posting. Similar Ink colour and pen type & print is important to distinguish and help in linking related events. We will be adding to the narrative in this section as soon as we better decipher and understand those Revision documents. For the timeframe 1858/1977, the revision documents allow us to attach a timeframe to where/when our Brosnan ancestors had land during that period at Kilquane and Ballyplymouth.

The Griffiths Revision Records are the most interesting ancestral records and provide actual records of where/who Rented/Inherited/Owned/SubLet land post 1858 and in most cases up until 1977/81. The MAPS are also very valuable evidence as you can dertermine where exactly families lived and farmed land. That information will soon be accessible below for the townlands of Kilquane & Ballyplymouth.
