About Ireland, Church of Ireland Land Tenure Index, 1878
This collection is an index of information derived from a government report on the sale of land by a commission overseeing the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland. The Report of the Commissioners of Church Temporalities in Ireland for the Year 1878 was an accounting of sales of church land made to people who had previously been tenants of the church and sales to members of the general public. The collection doesn’t include images of the original report.
Using this collection
Records in this collection may include the following information:
- Name
- Parish
- Diocese
- Barony
- County
- Sale date
- Property information
In addition to learning more about your ancestor’s financial status and their life experience, finding your ancestor in this collection can help your search for additional records. Knowing the date and place of your ancestor’s land purchase may give you a place to begin searching for other church or civic documents related to their life. It may also lead you to newspaper articles from that time and place that may provide information about your ancestor or the experience of others in that area.
