County Wicklow, Ireland Griffin's Valuation

County Wicklow, Garden of Ireland

Griffin's Valuation - April 1854

Generously donated to County Wicklow by Dave Griffiths
and transcribed by Former County Coordinator.

Since no Irish census of the nineteenth century has survived, Griffith's Valuation is a record of extreme importance. It is, essentially, the only detailed guide to where in Ireland people lived during the mid-nineteenth century and what property they possessed. In effect, Griffith's Valuation can be used as a census substitute for the years before, during, and after the Great Famine.

Few other records can be used to identify an Irish ancestor's exact place of origin, and only Griffith's Valuation links an individual to a specific townland and civil parish. This information is very beneficial since identifying an ancestor's townland and civil parish is the first step in Irish genealogical research.
