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. The different page No. Helped me to sort out others in the family listed in Bruse on the same page. Hence three different families with a Margaret--and other members. It is doubtful the actual pages of the census would be of any additional info, for ages and such, the early census' didn't report that accurately or in some cases, scribe an age, only grouped them. I have not seen any of the Killashandra census pages so I cannot be for certain but I would guess that other than the head of household , that no other real useful info could be attained from it anyway. As for the townlands, spellings do differ a little and at times you have to consider the alternate names used by the Diocese of Kilmore. For those alternate names refer to Al Beagans notes on the subject. As for other names, most can be found in the IRE ATLAS which I am told is based on the 1851 listings, not far off from the 1841 or 1831 lists. One example I can think of at the moment is a Townland of Coronary(on the CD) in Killashandra, is spelled Corraneary in the IRE ATLAS, not to difficult really. I might add that in all of my 12 years of looking, the 1841 census is the ONLY place I have found the members of my ancestor's family. No other documents to date have given me any clues. I would also like to say I do not approve of presenting these census' in this way I too would much rather have a CD with actual copies of the pages, however I did find it useful.
