Geralyn, Thanks for that very informative reply. I copied this from the LDS catalogue: "The "green forms" were used as an internal office record of the search made in the census. Applicants provided information by letter, and where there were sufficiant details a search was carried out. When the family was found and the applicant identified as a child, a certified copy of the return was issued. Miscellaneous search forms contain little information other that the applicant's name and address. These forms were created when the applicant applied for an 1841-1851 census search, but the application was lacking information necessary for a search, or the applicant was born after 1851 census. " As I said previously,Masterson's book lists households she found in the records. I would imagine she included any she found, whether or not they related to the applicant in question. But you are right - the applicant would have had to supply some corroborating information, which she could not have included as it was not source information. So there may well be something of interest to uncover. If you are thinking of getting one of the films just to see, 2214518 contains all Dublin and Fermanagh,the Galway index + a bit of Galway. 2214542 just has Galway 2214543 has the rest of Galway + part of Kerry So I'd opt for the middle one!
