Hi While the index itself is of limited use the actual Irish census carried more info than the English census of the time. Information on my LOVETT family included, age, married state, occupation, names of those who had left the family home in the last 10 years (and whether dec. or emigrated) date of parents marriage, whether able to read or write. From this I now know the names of great great grandfather George's siblings and parents (his father was by then deceased) and that two of his siblings went to USA and their occupations (still haven't raced them tho) and when his parents married. For my BIGGS family the details were less revealing but included name , age , occupation, married state, relationship to head of household. And no I'm afraid i don't hold any details of the census, SKS did a look up for me after I had checked the 1841 index at my local LDS. So this census is very useful indeed , if you can get hold of it that is. I agree with Joe about the index tho' you wonder why they bothered indexing but didn't go on to provide more details. Ahother place to check is the index to the 1901 Old Age Pension. Again an index , sigh, BUT it may show parents names and whether they were alive in the 1851 census. I would try and get hold of the census if you can or get a look up, it is incredibly useful. regards Jane Pearson jtpoutdoor@xtra.co.nz ----- Original Message ----- From: "joe coyle" <joenormapat@tin.it> To: <IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 8:13 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-CAVAN] 1831-1841 Census Index > In spite of it's limited information it is useful, When I looked for a > Margaret Coyle in Killashandra, Cavan, I found four, Three in a townland > of Bruse, each with a different page No. Which refers to the microfilmed > copies and the order in which they were filmed.

Correction, when your neighbour borrowed your mule and neglected to return it, you filed a Writ of Replevin. If he stole it and you could prove it beyond a rasonable doubt, that was a criminal, not a civil matter.

Yes, I do. My ggrandmother was Bridget Byrnes McCabe. Her sister, Kathleen or Catherine, ( unsure) was C atherine Byrnes Smyth. Her daughter Catherine Smith born about 1870 ,was first cousin to my grandmother Annie McCabe born 1868. The two of them came to Calif. Annie married, Ernest Clayton in 1899. Catherine married August Pasquet. around the same time. Claytons and Pasquets lived next door north of SF. Catherine later moved to San Francisco, and thento southern part of city. . The closest towns in Ireland were Greaghalone in Monaghan, near Shercock. And Skallkill or Northlands in Monaghan and Cavan. Nancy

From Genealogy.com; Importance of Flax in 18th Century Ireland During the 18th century Ireland, and in particular Ulster, established a reputation as a producer of fine linen. The economic implications were extremely important in that both agriculture and industry benefited. The climate and soil of Ireland were well suited to growing flax, the raw material for linen, so farmers and landowners naturally turned to the crop. Processing the flax through various stages on its way to linen - scutching, spinning, bleaching, beetling and weaving - provided work for many thousands in mill-towns across the country, and so linen became a major industry as well. At various times the government introduced special incentives to encourage the production of linen, usually in the form of spinning-wheels and looms. The Flax Growers Bounty List In 1796 the Irish Linen Board published a list of almost 60,000 individuals who had received awards for planting a specified acreage of flax. Those who planted one acre were awarded 4 spinning-wheels, and those growing 5 acres were awarded a loom. The two counties with the highest number of awards were Donegal and Tyrone. The Flax Growers List is arranged by civil parish in each county except for Dublin and Wicklow, which were not included in the list. (In a few instances, the barony is listed instead of the parish.) While there is no indication of townland, this is still an extremely useful record source that goes back over thirty years earlier than the commencement of Tithe Applotment Books. Anyone researching their Irish ancestry will be able to pinpoint a forebear living in a particular parish at the end of the 18th century. More About this Data Set You will find the following information about an individual indexed: Name - In some records, you will find three question marks in place of the given name or surname. This indicates that the name was not listed on the original record. You may also find question marks in place of missing letters. A question mark after a name indicates that the name spelling was unclear. County - This was the county in which the individual grew flax. A collection of baronies, from five in Co. Leitrim to twenty-two in Co. Cork, make up a county. Please note that Dublin and Wicklow counties were not included in the list. Parish - This was the civil parish in which the individual grew flax. A civil parish is made up of anything from five to thirty townlands. Collected together, civil parishes form baronies. In the Flax Growers List, sometimes a barony is listed instead of a parish. Civil parishes are no longer in use as administrative units. ----- Original Message ----- From: joanrusk To: IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 6:54 PM Subject: RE: [IRL-CAVAN] Flax Growers List I know I just read about this recently.

I'd like to add just a tidbit I know -- I was able to use the 1831/41 Census for my Derry family (Balteagh Parish, Dungiven). BUT I was lucky to find some of my Glangevlin family and Derry people on the "Old Age Pension" Fund/Application. People applied in 1902-32??? (not sure when) had to produce a birth cert or a registrar's note stating parents, townland etc...from 1841 and/or 1851 Census. There are not millions of names but worth a look. I changed Programs and lost all the great source information when I did a GEDCOM -- I' a history major so you can only guess how bummed I was!

Researching Murphy's in Drumgoon. Philip Murphy was born about 1823. His US naturalization papers said he was from Drumgoon, County Cavan. His father was Edward Murphy. From a distant cousin, I've learned that there were siblings Francis, Owen and Ann, who emigrated to Canada, and Bridget, who married Terence King and stayed in Ireland. I'd be glad to hear from anyone researching these Murphy's or who has any information about them. Thanks, Pat

I've confused you on one surname. My McElroy (not Mcevoy) ggrandfather was from Fermanagh, his wife Delia was from Cavan County. My "possible" from France was a gut feel because of all the spelling variations of Lovett sounded French? I have a pension record document for my ggrandmother Delia Lovett-Phillips-McElroy that was witnessed and signed in 1890 by Thomas McSherry, and his address was exactly the same NYC apartment as Delia and her two daughters and one son. There are other Lovett Cavan surname derivations spelled Lovit, Lovitt, Lovet, Lovatt, Loveett, Loveat, early 1800s C of I, and Tithes. And Griffiths. One Charles was a soldier in the 8th Foot?
