Irish Tithe Applotment Books
Compiled 1823–1837, generally listing occupiers of productive/tithable agricultural holdings, acreage/value and tithe. They usually identify occupiers rather than all household members and do not systematically cover urban land.
Irish Primary Valuation (Griffith’s Valuation)
Published 1847–1864, this property valuation lists occupiers, lessors and property amount/value. It is an occupancy/property source and should not be treated as a household census.
