FULL NAME INDEX TO HOUSEHOLDERS FOR GRIFFITH'S PRIMARY VALUATION, COUNTY MAYO, IRELAND. By Andrew J. Morris. 322 pages. Published 1989.

This useful resource lists all of the householders from Griffith's for county Mayo, giving the full name for each person, a code indicating the parish of residence, and a reference to the Union and page number, which allow researchers to go to the exact page where the person is shown in Griffith's. There are a total of 36,330 names listed, and the introduction breaks these down by frequency for the first names, and also lists over 150 of the most common surnames, ranked by frequency. From the analyses we learn, for example, that Walsh was the most common surname in Mayo, and that 18% of all males were named Patrick, while 29% of females were named Mary. There is a map showing the location of each parish in the county. Because of the destruction of Census records for Ireland, Griffith's Valuation is the nearest thing to a head of household census left in existence for mid 19th century Ireland. This index makes that information much more accessible for County Mayo. See 0062 for the actual records.
