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.
