    3. Judy Christopher asked whether the Galway Voters lists are on-line or in National Archives in Dublin. Neither, I'm afraid Judy. I think they may have been destroyed in the Four Courts fire in 1922. When trawling for other information I have seen newspaper lists of applications for inclusion on the register. The Clare Journal of May and June 1829 had long lists because of the change from £2 to £10; I'd imagine the Galway papers had similar lists. Brendan Burke Dublin.

    3. Thank you Brendan, It was a shot in the dark as I have been trying to find the home of my Mitchell Family in County Galway. No luck yet.

    3. Hi Brendan, Was the fee (£2 increased to £10) charged to anyone wishing to be included on the Voters Register? That was awfully expensive for those days. Surely it would have excluded many folk from registering. I wonder if that was why it was increased five-fold!
