FULL NAME INDEX TO HOUSEHOLDERS FOR GRIFFITH'S PRIMARY VALUATION, COUNTY WICKLOW, IRELAND. By Andrew J. Morris. 128 pages. Published 1989.

This publication lists all of the householders from Griffith's for county Wicklow, 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 13,937 names listed, and the introduction breaks these down by frequency for the first names, and also lists over 120 of the most common surnames, ranked by frequency. From the analyses we learn, for example, that Byrne was the most common surname in Wicklow, and that 17% of all males were named John, while 23% 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 Wicklow. See 0064 for the actual records.
