Valuation Revision Books
After Griffith's primary valuation was completed, about 1852 in Co. Carlow, copies of the valuation books were updated periodically to reflect current landholders and tenants. These books, called Valuation Revision Books, were kept up to date by lining out the original entry and writing in the new information above it. On occasion, other notations were also included. Years that changes took place were also noted in the far right column. The following are transcriptions from the Valuation Revision Books, through about 1900, although some continue on to later dates. Often these revisions help to identify family members. Wives, sons or other relatives usually took over tenancy after the death or migration of the original occupant, and the entries can give clues to family members and relationships. The Revision Books are available on microfilm from the LDS Family History Library, and are listed by Townland, grouped by Barony and Civil Parish. The extracts below are listed alphabetically, first by Civil Parish, then by Townland within each parish. The date of each Revision was not always easily identifiable, and the dates used for some of the revisions are the best estimate based on the documents themselves. Any contributions of this information from other townlands would be most welcome.
