Griffith's Valuation was the first real listing of each piece of property; the occupier who was living on it by lease or ownership; the immediate lessor; the type of property, i.e. house, offices (out-buildings), land, etc.; the acreage; and the value of the land, buildings, and total valuation for the tax. These same records were used well into the 1900's, names being crossed off as people died or moved, and the new occupier listed.

We are attempting to put all of the names in the Griffiths Valuations for the Lurgan area into a searchable database. As you can imagine, this is a mammoth task and one that will take time. You can search the available names in the box below, but this is by no means complete. We are updating the database daily, so do come back and search again.

The information on this website is free and will always be so. However, there are many documents and records that we would like to show here that are only available for sale. If you would like to make a donation to the Lurgan Ancestry project, however small (or large!), to enable us to acquire these records, it would be very much appreciated. We could cover our pages in Goggle Ads to raise money, but feel that this would detract from the information we are trying to provide. You can also help us to raise money by purchasing some of our ebooks on our sister website: www.genealogyebooks.com

The Lurgan Ancestry Project is a not for profit website, all monies raised from the site go back into it. Genealogy Ebooks is our sister website and takes payments on our behalf.
