c.1860 Griffith's
[Tenement] Valuation
This valuation lists the names of
persons occupying houses and farms within North
Antrim c.1860. The valuation books are arranged by
Poor Law Union. In the table below you will
find a link to a map that shows the
distribution of Poor Law Unions in North Antrim and
East Londonderry c.1860. There is also a link to a
PDF file which contains the index pages of each of
the Griffith's Valuation Books for each of the the
Poor Law Unions in North Antrim shown on this map.
These index pages list the townlands included in
each book.
Below is a link to a database of
names listed within each townland in the Griffith's
Valuation Books for North Antrim. Note that this
database is simply an index to names and places
within the valuation books. If the exact same name
appears a number of times in a townland it is only
included once within the database. Note also
that the entries within the Excel version of the
database are sorted by barony, parish, townland and
standardised surname. There is also a separate sheet
in the Excel file where the entries are sorted by
standardised surname, barony, parish and townland. The names in the PDF version are arranged
alphabetically by standardised surname, barony, parish and
townland. These names and locations can be compared
with the Agricultural Census database of 1803.
