The Bowles of Canada and their
Roots in Ireland and England The Griffiths Valuation of Ballickmoyler |
|
|
|
The Griffith's Valuation was carried out in Ireland from 1848-64 to list
all the Lessors (not the same as the owners as most property was leased
from major landlords and then sublet to tenants) and the Occupants of
every plot of land and also to set a value on the land and buildings.
Queen's county (now co. Laois) was evaluated in about 1858-60.
These records give us a valuable snapshot of the occupants of
Ballickmoyler in those years, their landlords and the actual land they
lived on.
Note: the following represents my interpretation of the map which has several irregularities on it and some inconsistencies with the published valuation. The majority of the lots are likely to be as I have outlined but corrections may yet be found at which time this page will be updated. Note: William Bowles appears as a lessor of several houses in Lot 9. By this time he was living in Carlow town and was the last Bowles with an interest in this area.
