1901 and 1911 are the ONLY complete Census of Ireland Almost all of the original returns of the 1821 Census were destroyed in the fire in 1922, with only a few volumes surviving for parts of Counties Cavan, Fermanagh, Galway, Meath and Offaly (King's County). 1831 Census Fragments Most of the fragments relate to Co. Derry. 1841 Census Fragments Only the original returns for the parish of Killeshandra in Co.Cavan survived the fire in 1922. There are, however, a number of transcripts of the original returns because the returns from 1841 & 1851 were used in the twentieth century as proof of age when the Old Age Pension was introduced. The most significant collections are the Walsh-Kelly notebooks, which also abstract parts of the 1821, 1831 and 1851 returns and relate particularly to south Kilkenny, and the Thrift Abstracts in the National Archives. 1851 Census Fragments Most of the surviving returns relate to parishes in Co. Antrim and a few in Co Fermanagh 1861 & 1871 Census Fragments Virtually nothing survives. The only transcripts are found in the Catholic registers of Enniscorthy, Co.Wexford, (1861), and Drumcondra and Loughbraclen, Co. Meath (1871).
