*Griffiths Valuation, a property assessment of all properties in Ireland, took place during the years 1848 to 1864. They began in the south of Ireland and ended in Ulster. It lists the lessors (not the same as the owner) and lessees of all property in the country. It is the primary 19th Irish reference in which the poor are likely to be found. FHC Film* # 0844991. Griffith's was actually taken in the counties as follows:
Antrim 1861-62 Armagh 1864 Carlow 1852-53 Cavan 1856-57 Clare 1855 Cork 1851-53 Derry 1858-59 Donegal 1857	Down 1863-64 Dublin 1848-51 Dublin City 1851 Fermanagh 1862 Galway 1855 Kerry 1852 Kildare 1851 Kilkenny 1849-50 Laois (Queen's) 1858-60	Leitrim 1856 Limerick 1851-52 Longford 1854 Louth 1854 Mayo 1856-57 Meath 1855 Monaghan 1858-60 Offaly 1864 (King's)	Roscommon 1857-58 Sligo 1858 Tipperary 1851 Tyrone 1860 Waterford 1848-51 Westmeath 1854 Wexford 1853 Wicklow 1852-53
Thanks to ptraynor in Gold Rush Country for the above information. This resource is available in Ireland, and major libraries around the world on microfiche / film. There is an index, and county volumes are available. The Family History Centers, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have copies of almost all genealogical resources from around the world. See link in the list above for Irish searching there.
For those interested in Ulster History check out: PRONI, Public Record Office of No. Ireland in Belfast. Great historical information and resources. Brownlow, Dawson, Leslie, Rossmore, and McGeough-Bond records there contain information on holdings in Monaghan, Tyrone, Armagh, and elsewhere. Look under collections. The Annesley Books of Survey and Distribution sound interesting.
