Wed, December 2 2026: 1:00 UTC
A whistle-stop tour of some of the key resources for tracing land and property in England from the Domesday Survey in 1086 to today, using the case study of a 15th century farmhouse in Kent. From manorial records to title deeds, tithe records to Ordnance Survey maps, there is a vast range of documentation relating to the ownership, occupation and use of land and property in England, from tiny tenements to large estates.

Discovering exactly where your Irish ancestors hailed from can be a tricky exercise, especially with the lack of 19th century census returns. However, there is an abundance of other records that can help in your research, and this talk focuses on Griffith's Valuation and the subsequent Revision (or Cancelled) books – what they are, what they can tell us, and where you can access them. Case studies are used to highlight a range of sources that can help you identify your family in these records, and discover the place where your ancestors left their footprints in Ireland.
