Maher's of Tipperary

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

I hope that someone with information that may help you gets in contact with you.

In the meantime, have you tried looking in Griffith?s Valuation to see if there were any Maher?s still in the area 1848-1864? This is a property valuation survey that was carried out in Ireland, although it doesn?t give any genealogical information it can be used to tie a person to a specific place.

Also, civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so any births, deaths or marriages in the family after this date would be recorded in these records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

You can search the indexes to these records up until 1958 online at:

Have you tried looking in the 1901/1911 census records for Maher?s in the area? You can do this online at:
