INDEX of SURNAMES of HOUSEHOLDERS
ed. Richard J.Hayes, Edward Keane; National Library of Ireland.
Typescript lists of surnames of householders and occupiers of land and buildings in Ireland in the 19th Century; as recorded in the Tithe Applotment Books or TABs, and in the Griffith Valuation. The Griffith fiche indexes A-IH and AJM are alphabetical full name indexes to the Griffith Valuation records only, and do not include entries in the TABs; some are available in the National Archives.
County Roscommon was published in 1965. Griffith covers 1852-58. TABs covers 1824-53.
NOTES:
Although the range of dates extends over the period 1848-64, most Griffith Valuations date to the 1850s; and they cover roughly 70-80 per cent of the occupiers of property in Ireland.
The published valuation records are available on paper and in microfiche format. The dates of the Tithe Applotment Books or TABs depend on the parishes. The range of dates extends over the period 1803-62. However, most of them date to the 1820s and 1830s.
A discussion of the types of records, where they are held, their availability and value is given in the Wills Section of the Introduction of the book, "Researching Your Irish Ancestry"> The availability of prerogative wills, administrations, and marriage license records is also described in the relevant parts of the same section. Where available, published sources of these records are given in the Miscellaneous Sources. Section. Those with SLC film numbers (Salt Lake City) can be ordered through your local Family History Center.
