Tithe Applotments 1823-1838
A unique land survey taken as a way to determine the amount of tax payable by landholders to the Church of Ireland, the Tithe Applotment Books represent a virtual census for pre-Famine Ireland. In the original enumeration, each landholder was recorded along with details such as townland, size of holding, land quality and types of crops. (parishes are civil parishes)

House, Quarto, Tenure, Field & Miscellaneous Books: The valulation of all property and agricultural land in Ireland was a process which took almost 50 years. The records which were generated in the carrying out of his work culminated in the published Valuation of Ireland whose popular name was that of the man, Richard Griffith, who personally organized and directed the whole effort (see above). The unpublished notebooks of the Valuers who performed their tasks under detailed instructions laid down by Griffith have, in most cases, survived and provide a considerable amount of supplementary information that is available in the published Valuation Books. These notebooks have been divided into the following categories: House, Quarto, Tenure, Field and Miscellaneous Books. Some of these notebooks contain information recorded 10 or 15 years before the published valuation. Such records, together with the Tithe Applotment Books, give rare and valuable insights into people and society in pre-famine Ireland.

Griffith's Valuation 1856-1857
The Griffith's Valuation references individuals who occupied property in Ireland between 1848 and 1864. Since no Irish census of the nineteenth century has survived, Griffith's Valuation is of extreme importance. Like the tithes, it lists the head of household, townland and land information.
