The first complete census returns were taken in 1813. This enumeration was
followed by others in 1821, 1831, and every ten years thereafter until 1911.
Most of these census returns have been destroyed. The 1901 census is the first
complete census in existence today.
A. Religious censuses (1740-66)
vary in their details, but may include the
heads of households, parish by parish, and indicate their religion; or may give
statistics only. Some returns are available for Dioceses such as Ardagh,

Kildare, Kilmore, Ossory, Raphoe and Ross.

G. 1911 census gives same information as the 1901 plus the number of years
married, total number of children born alive, and number of children still
living. This census is also entirely available.
Still looking for FHC microfilm numbers. Also looking for people who would be
willing to assist in a project to put all the old censuses on the internet.
This will be provided as always for "FREE" . I think the 1901 and 1911 would be
too large a project but not impossible. I would like to concentrate on the
remains of the other censuses. Interested, send me an e-mail.
