The Census of Ireland is not indexed as we have come to expect it to be with the US Census. Each parish consists of Enumeration Districts which are composed of townlands. If you have found your family in Griffith's Valuation, you can go to the same townland to search for the names of the people living on the land in 1901 and 1911. The parish and townland names are usually unchanged. There is an index to Electoral Districts but there is no official index of persons. William G. Masterson published an index and transcribed returns for Achill parish (NLI Ir. 94123m21). Ruth Hakala is transcribing part of Clare. For Mayo, Joseph R. Egan is preparing an index and transcription for Ballysakery parish; Nancy Reeb has transcribed much of Killedan parish; I am indexing heads of Killedan (Kiltimagh), Bohola, and Kilconduff parishes. http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/ has a searchable data base containing information transcribed from the 1901 census of Ireland for Leitrim and Roscommon. As of September 2000, there were over 14,000 individuals from County Mayo in the database. All records for Kilbeagh (Charlestown) civil parish are included as well as Kilmovee civil parish. There are also nine townlands for Killedan civil parish in the database. More records will be added. The data base is under development and is on-line for limited searching with over 2700 individuals from the town of Athlone, Westmeath, included in the database. Military personnel who were part of the British military barrack in Athlone are not included. Anyone wishing to volunteer to work on County Leitrim records should e-mail Roger McDonnell. Fermanagh has been indexed and is for sale on microfiche. I cut and pasted the description: "To find the film containing your townland, use the index to townlands in enumeration districts. Enumeration districts are listed in numerical order, not alphabetical order, so you must scan through the pages to find the townland you want. Townlands are listed in alphabetical order under each district. To the left of each townland name is its census number; at the top of the page is the enumeration district number." It is not an easy task! Ellen "Maureen Hatfield" <maureen02@attbi.com> wrote: >Hi Ellen, I just saw your response below. I have just joined this list and >could I ask you a question?

Greetings from the Land o' the Maple Leaf! I am repeating this message which I first sent to the list in November 2001 The details I have are from Army Records: James JARRETT, married 24th January 1845 at Boyle County, Roscommon, Ireland. James was with the 38th Foot Regiment. His bride's name was Mary but I have been unable to find a marriage for him in the Civil Registration [Ireland] and don't know Mary's surname. They had a son: Thomas JARRETT born in the Parish of Foxford, Co Mayo, Ireland on 31 July 1849. Very likely an older child, James Edward JARRETT was born to them in Ireland, too. James JARRETT was my 2Xg-grandfather, Thomas JARRETT my g-grandfather. Would so love to find Mary's name and whether she was Irish or an English soldier's daughter. Thomas JARRETT died 14 Jul 1915 in Northwich, England Mary, wife of James died 7 August 1875. Whereabouts unknown. Death date for James unknown but after 1891. Possibly Oswestry or Shrewsbury areas of England. Grateful for any help/ideas. Best wishes, Diana-in-Canada

Hi Ellen, I just saw your response below. I have just joined this list and could I ask you a question? I am at a complete standstill with my Higgins and Cannon relatives when it comes to where in Ireland they came from. Would looking on the 1901 census do me any good? The ones I am looking for are Thomas and Margaret nee Burke Higgins and Michael and Bridget nee Joyce Cannon.

Hi, just joined this list and would like to ask a question on my relatives. Can someone tell me if the names Higgins and Cannon are common in Roscommon? My gg grandfather was Thomas Higgins, circa 1830's, married to Margaret Burke. My great grandfather, their son, was Patrick Higgins born 1854. He emigrated to Boston Ma. in 1870 and married Margaret Cannon in 1874. Her parents were Michael Cannon and Bridget nee Joyce Cannon. Does this look familiar at all to anyone? Thanks Maureen

Do you mean the US Census of 1880? If that is what you want I can do it tomorrow. Ireland only has 1901 and 1911 complete.

David and Gayle Platt plus any interested parties: Read your call for help, hope you get some good direction. This list has been so kind to me, I'm sure you will. Found a bit of info that might set you on the trail. <<This dau. married Thomas Young 21 Oct. 1869 - Parish Church of Boyle - not verified, he was a corporal in the 89th R.I.Fusilliers stationed at Athlone. Where is that?>> Just a suggestion....there's an O'Beirne Family Journal site that will give you great insight and Athlone is south of Roscommon, Ireland maps can be found with your search engine. To give you some info start here, cut and paste. http://www.2hwy.com/ir/r/rlilgirs.htm <<The dau.(Mary Jane O'Byrne - born 22 Feb. 1851. (Roman Catholic). was educated at Visscountess Lorton's Seminary - Errarona, Roscommon. Where is that?>> The Viscountess is Frances King, actually "Frances, the Viscountess Lorton of Boyle." A seminary could be just a school over there. Happy Hunting --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Sign-up for Video Highlights of 2002 FIFA World Cup

Working from this side of the big pond, in Woodstock Ontario, is not easy at times. Trying to verify facts collected from various sources is "trying"! It would be of immense help if some kind soul in Roscommon had pity on me and could provide me with some assistance. I am dealing with the following family - MARTIN O'BYRNE , likely a farmer, likely married in the Parish Church of Boyle, County Rocscommon, to Mary Jane Bingham. Issue - I only know of one and cannot imagine there was only one - her name was Mary Jane O'Byrne - born 22 Feb. 1851. (Roman Catholic). I know absolutely nothing about her parents. This dau. married Thomas Young 21 Oct. 1869 - Parish Church of Boyle - not verified, he was a corporal in the 89th R.I.Fusilliers stationed at Athlone. Where is that? His father was a policeman - Joseph Young. The dau. was educated at Visscountess Lorton's Seminary - Errarona, Roscommon. Where is that? This dau. had an interesting life, married 3 times, two of her husbands dying in service in 89th in India. I have this history and an interesting one it is. Caan anyone help? It would surely be appreciated, I would pay any mailing costs for photocopies or documents. What I would be thrilled to find would be descendants of Martin o/Byrne etc. Thank you for reading this Dave Platt At 06:26 PM 13/06/02 -0700, you wrote: >Hello all, >Got a couple of questions for ya'll... >Can anyone on the list tell me why there were so many deaths by drowning? >Also, I think I missed out on some of the first volumes Rosemarie has so >graciously submitted---What year do these begin? >TIA, >Jan Hogan >----- Original Message ----- >From: rosemarie vogado <rvogado@surfree.com> >To: <IRL-ROSCOMMON-L@rootsweb.com> >Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 8:36 PM >Subject: [Roscom'n] Newspaper extracts Athlone Volume 4 Part 28 > > >> ATHLONE VOLUME 4 Con't >> > DEATH – Mr. McHUGH & Patrick MARTIN drown….pg 395 >> >> Ed MARTIN narrowly escapes drowning……………….pg 395 >> > > > >==== IRL-ROSCOMMON Mailing List ==== >??

Would SKS please help me. I'll be in Strokestown in early July with very limited time and I want to know how to get to Ballyfeeny and Kilglass. Whick road do I take from Strokestown and how do I find the cemetery near the Kilglass R.C. Church. I am looking for graves of McGuire and McCormick families. Thank you for any help. Margaret.

Hi Jan, I was thinking the same thing.! Not all are in the Shannon some are in the canal. These are the years in case you haven't seen this. VOL 1 Years 1690 to 1799 2 Years 1800 to 1849 3 Years 1850 to 1884 4 Years 1885 to 1899 The towns I have finished are Roscommon, Ballinasloe and I am still working on Athlone. I will be doing Ballymahon, Ballymore and maybe some more depending if there is any interest. I will tackle these after I do the looks up I have for the posting I have finished. If you have missed some of the extracts you can use the archives to read them by typing in newspaper extract : However not all appear to be there yet. http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl or you can type in the name you want, eg KELLY. But I warn you some of the handwriting (I) extracted might be a little different than what it should be. I have offered to look up any entry you find interesting. I will need the town volume # then page entry.
