Does anyone know what year the first census of Ireland was taken that would include Derry/Londonderry? Jean ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
Hello Jean, The earliest census subsitiute which includes the City is the Religious census of 1766 The earliest surviving official census for both City and County is 1831 but it is limited in that it gives the name of the head of house only plus the number of males and females. However it is still a very valuable resource. best regards Robert www.ulsterancestry.com >From: BGW3133@aol.com >To: NIR-DERRY@rootsweb.com >Subject: [NIR-DERRY] NIR - IRE census >Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2007 23:23:43 EDT > >Does anyone know what year the first census of Ireland was taken that >would >include Derry/Londonderry? > >Jean > > > >************************************** See what's free at >http://www.aol.com. > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to >NIR-DERRY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the >quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________ Solve the Conspiracy and win fantastic prizes. http://www.theconspiracygame.co.uk/

Censuses began in 1801 and continued every 10 years after that except for 1941. The first censues contained very limited info and 1841 was the first to include everyone.. That said, there are no complete censuses existing for Ireland before 1901. They were destroyed by fire in 1922. There are scraps of the 1831 in existence and I seem to remember it included parts of Derry. It is available at the Public Record Office in Belfast but not on line. It is also on a CD -FTM I think. http://www.genealogy.com/197facd.html?priority=0000896 This book is good on the basics of NI research Tracing your Ancestors in Northern Ireland by Ian Maxwell ISBN 0 11 495823 8 Rachel ----- Original Message ----- From: <BGW3133@aol.com> To: <NIR-DERRY@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2007 4:23 AM Subject: [NIR-DERRY] NIR - IRE census > Does anyone know what year the first census of Ireland was taken that > would > include Derry/Londonderry? > > Jean > > > > ************************************** See what's free at > http://www.aol.com. > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > NIR-DERRY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message
The 1901 census is also available in Derry Central Library - if you know anyone kind enough to do a look-up for you. You need a townland (for a rural area) but there is an alphabetical street directory for the City of Derry in the Library so you do not need an address if the person is a householder in the city.
