The 1851 Dublin City Census CD-ROM was launched late last year at the 4th Irish Genealogical Congress. The database is compiled by Sean Magee, who is a Dublin-based genealogist and it marks a culmination of over four years of dedicated work. The index and maps are accessed through the web browser on your computer. The database contains over 60,000 name and addresses and, in some cases, occupations of the residents of Dublin during the 1851 census. The CD also contains 33 scanned images of the Ordnance Survey Town Plans of Dublin City from 1847. These maps were provided by Dublin Corporation and are said to contain remarkable detail of all the streets and houses within the city at that time, and will enable you to pinpoint individual house numbers. It documents all the households in the city, whereas previously re! searchers had to rely on published street directories such as Thom's Directory or valuation office records such as Griffith's. These directories only listed the landlord or rate-payer, excluding many of the people who lived in Dublin's tenement housing areas, whereas THIS database lists the head of every household in Dublin at that time -- "Ireland of the Welcomes" Mar-Apr 2002.
