Hi
I am giving you a couple of sites that may be of help to you
TITHE APPLOTMENT BOOKS / GRIFFTH’S VALUATION
You could try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp
or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) https://familysearch.org/
Also as your great great grandfather was a solicitor the J. Pigot & Co City of Dublin and Hiberian Provincial Directory http://www.theirisharchives.com/categories/view/37/Directories
