Land Registry Alphabetical Index

Published date:

The Land Registry Collection held in PRONI contains an estimated 50,000 records and is one our largest. 

The Papers relate to the changes in the ownership and occupancy of land in Ireland brought about by several Land Acts and the administration of these Acts. This includes the Landlord and Tennant (Ireland) Act, 1870, the Northern Ireland Act, 1925, and the Northern Ireland Land Purchase (Winding Up) Act, 1935. 

For each entry, the index lists the estate by:

  • Surname
  • Forename
  • County
  • Box number
  • Code
  • Record Number

The reference number in the 4th column of the index refers to the Box number of that specific Land Registry archive. Users can browse the descriptions of any LR collection by browsing the eCatalogue. To find what records exist for a particular archive use LR1/ before the box number and hit search. By clicking the left hand links this will break down the contents of what is held in PRONI.
