Land, Valuation, and Property Records
This collection brings together land assessments, Valuation Office Books, Griffith’s Valuation entries, maps, holding references, property evidence, and newspaper notices connected with the Dorgan / Dargan family of Carrigkilter and neighboring East Cork places.
These records establish Patrick Dargan / Dorgan’s documented association with Carrigkilter before and during Griffith’s Valuation and help trace the family’s connection with the holding through the later nineteenth century.
How to Use This Collection
The records should be read as a connected land-evidence sequence rather than as isolated entries. Together, the 1847, 1848, 1849, and 1853 records show a continuing association between Patrick Dargan / Dorgan and Carrigkilter.
The 1896 farm-sale notice documents a later transition in the property story shortly before Patrick J. Dorgan emigrated to the United States.
Unproved and comparison land records for other East Cork Dargan / Dorgan households are preserved separately on the Related East Cork and Comparison Records page.
