    Hi all,

    Wondering if anyone would know where to look for inhabitance records for Irish buildings? Would it be national records or local records and where would I be able to find them?

    Cheers,
    J.

    Don't really understand what you mean, what type of building, the date is also relevant. Give an example of what you are looking for. Generally, the census or Thoms directory can tell you who lived in what building 100+ years ago. The Valuations office can tell you about more recent rate payers. The electoral register would also be helpful. The county library of the place you're interested in would be a good place to start.

    That's exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. Cheers.
