Good Morning ! Can anyone tell me if the Cancelled Revision Books for Grifitth's for Ferns Parish, County Wexford, are available online? If so, where? If not, where do I write to request them. Thank you.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The short answer is that they are not available online. Here is a John Grenham post from two weeks ago which provides status on a Valuation office project to digitize the cancelled land books https://www.johngrenham.com/blog/2018/03/05/the-valuation-office-post-g…; Wexford is not one of the current 13 counties where records have been digitized. However, all records have to be reviewed at the Valuation office in Dublin. Eventually all cancelled land books will be online but not sure how long we have to wait.
Another alternative to consider are the Mormon Church records. Maybe 15 years ago, I was able to request microfilm from Salt Lake City which had the cancelled land books for my parish in Mayo. Not sure if you can still order the microfilm or if the records are online but you should check out www.familysearch.org
