The next census in Ireland will take place on *Sunday April 24th, 2016.* Just being COMPLETELY NOSEY... :-D When is your next Census for those outside Ireland? DH --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
The last census in Fermanagh was on Sunday 27 March 2011, so next one will be 2021. I believe that the census in RoI was changed to get an idea of the state of play following the partition and has continued on from that every 10 years, I think its started again in 1926 (please don’t quote me on that, its purely from an unreliable memory) I know there was talk in the Dáil about releasing the census earlier, as a genealogy resource, but I don’t think anything was agreed.

Our previous census took place on the night of Sunday April 10, 2011. Yes the Census for Republic was 1926... the N.I one was destroyed I believe! It is mainly vested interests delaying the early release of 1926 one. Wonder how many will head to N.I. to avoid Census!! :-D DH On 13/04/2016 14:19, [email protected] wrote: > The last census in Fermanagh was on Sunday 27 March 2011, so next one will be > 2021. > > I believe that the census in RoI was changed to get an idea of the state of > play following the partition and has continued on from that every 10 years, I > think its started again in 1926 (please don’t quote me on that, its purely > from an unreliable memory) > > I know there was talk in the Dáil about releasing the census earlier, as a > genealogy resource, but I don’t think anything was agreed. > > Clive --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
No, I think the NI one was delayed too from what I understand. From talking to people it was quite a violent affair, with the police and army being used!! I think they were both done at the same time to prevent people from crossing the border to avoid it. The problem is the 100year rule which means they wont publish census returns until 100year after the date of the census. Once they are released, it takes a considerable time to transcript them. If that’s the case we wont be allowed access to the 1926 returns until 2026. Because the 1911 returns where stored in Dublin they are under Irish control and the 100year rule was temporary suspended to allow early release of the records. The Dáil considered releasing after 70years as these 1926 Census returns would be gold dust to genealogists, but that was several years ago and I’ve heard nothing since. Probably got delayed/moth balled due to funding cuts. >From a local view point there seems to have been a great deal of movement at the time with Protestant families moving North and RC moving South, but that would only be revealed by looking at the census. Id love to get access to it! But then most of us on the list would!
