    The primary valuation took place during those dates (more or less) but they continued to update it thereafter - the cancellation books in the valuation office - not online but can be useful to track down when a piece of land transferred to a son or a widow, and hence good for finding a death date.

    So long as you bear in mind that property that was transferred after death was not necessarily transferred immediately after. Sometimes - I suspect oftentimes - there was a delay of a number of years before the paperwork was done.

    There were three surveys carried out by Griffith and his survey teams beginning in the 1830s. The one we all know and love was the culmination and covers the whole country.

    The earlier surveys have huge amounts of information, particularly for the northern counties.

    Over here (the US), James Reilly published two excellent books and articles about GV. Richard Griffith and his Valuation is partly available here. It's dense enough, but very insightful.

    Is information from the earlier surveys available online?

    not online... Most are in the National Archives...look for Griffth note books, field books, perambulation books ... there's a another type but dont remember the name off-hand.

    For earlier record similar format to Griffth's look for Tithe records - some on Ancestry but these dont have full coverage, and dont include the full details. (Tithe's dont usually cover urban areas)

    Are the tithe records open for public view anywhere? other than the few that are online on Ancestry?
