Griffith's Primary Valuation
took place throughout Ireland during the middle of the 19th Century and
the valuation of Clare was published in 1855. Those parts of Clare contained
in the Union of Limerick were published in 1852. It was a survey of land
occupation to determine the amount of tax a landowner or occupier should
pay towards the support of the Poor Law System. This Parish Index to the
valuation gives Forename, Surname, Town or Townland, Parish and Poor Law
Union of individuals named in the published valuation. A person owning
or leasing property in more than one townland will appear separately for
each townland. The type of property held (i.e. house, garden, office or
acreage of land), its valuation and map reference numbers are not included
and the printed valuation will have to be consulted for this information.
