Title: beginer who needs help please
Post by: joannem66 on Wednesday 03 June 09 01:58 BST (UK)
Hi can anyone help me find out about land ownership in knockenduff tramore ?
i am told by mother that my grandfather had a farm there but i only have his name phillip dunne

i dont have a address i have emailed land registry and deeds but they want folio numbers and maps
and address ahhhhh and i have nothing - i live in australia so all my searching is on the net

i believe he may have owned this land land with his brother edward ( neddy ) now deceased
the land would have been owned i think from late 30 to early 1940 up until last year

any help would be great

You could write to Waterford Archives, at High Street, Waterford City, they have a lot of land records, and might be able to help you.

Hi there,
You could also try looking at the Valuation Office website:

http://www.valoff.ie/search/search.asp

Enter 'Knockanduff' (note the spelling!) in the townland, 'Waterford' as the county - (you can ignore all the other boxes for now) and you will get a list of all the rateable properties within that townland. Then you can click 'more details' on the one you want, I see there is someone by name of Dunne in the list, this could well be a relation of your grandfather.
Worth a shot anyway!

Good luck
Mags
