Griffith's Valuation
"Griffith's Valuation was a nationwide survey of property holders taken between 1847 and 1864, for the purpose of assessing the rate of local taxation, which was levied for the upkeep of the poor and destitute of the parish.
"Since most of the census returns for the 19th century have been destroyed, Griffith's Acts as a valuable mid century census substitute"
