Irelands Valuation office conducted it's first survey of property ownership in Ireland from 1848 to 1864. This survey became known as "Griffiths Valuation" after Richard Griffith who was the director of the office at that time. The survey was used to determine the amount of tax each person should pay towards the support of the poor within their poor law union. This involved determining the value of all privately held lands and buildings in rural as well as urban areas to figure the rate at which each unit of property could be rented year after year. The resulting survey was arranged by barony and civil parish with an index to the townlands appearing in each volume. Griffith's Valuation can be used as an excellent census substitute for the years after the Great Famine as censuses prior to 1901 were destroyed.
There are 22 "Timothy Lyons" and 1 "Stephen Lyons". This is out of 273 entries for Cork County plus 60 entries for Cork City (The Christian names Timothy and Stephen are not recorded for Lyons family in Cork City)
The table below shows the number of lyons households in each county in the Primary Valuation property survey of 1848-64. It can be seen that Co Cork contained the largest number of Lyons families in Ireland at this time.
