    Having trouble finding the location of a reference in Griffiths.
    It is for John Hehir, Kinvaradoorus in Galway.

    The ledger seems to indicate it should be marked as 33 on the map (perhaps I am wrong in presuming that?)

    Would greatly appreciate any help in finding it on a map. A screenshot would be great.
    Hoping to give a GPS reference to a descendant who is soon to visit the area.

    I can't see a John Hehir in Kinvaradoorus at all. I can only see one in Emlagh. Have you got a link?

    Mea culpa. It was spelled Heher.
    It's OS Maps 112 and 113.

    Hoping this link will work.

    Hi

    If you click on the versions button on the map, Version 3 has the plot numbers. No 33 is on that version. I've tried to attach a screenshot. let's see if this work!

    The maps with red boundaries which automatically appear on the search, are second generation maps,c.1870, while the original maps used for the printed edition of Griffith's Primary Valuation, are the black + white versions which have to be clicked on the map versions box.

    The second generation maps were chosen first because some of the original maps used by valuators on horseback were in poor condition.

    I compared this to the maps on osi.ie (geohive), the best aerial photo is available by selecting "Digital Globe" option, it seems from this as if the house has disappeared, but perhaps there are some ruins obscured by a tree. The co-ordinates are 53.1485, -8.9654.
