Title: 1901 census help where do I look
Post by: GRACELANDS on Friday 26 June 09 20:16 BST (UK)

I have found my great grandfather and his family on the 1911 Census ( thanks to this site) Living in  house no. 16 in Drumaville.  Any ideas how I find out where that is/was in Drumaville.  I have looked but cannot find Henry P McLaughlin his wife Cassie, his mother Mary who would be about 82 and their children on the previous census .  I am not sure if they would come under Moville Higher or lower but could not find them there I am not sure how the areas were broken up for the census.  Any suggestions please.

Thanks for all the help so far,  I am hoping to go to Drumaville in August so I can see for myself where all this history started.

Drumaville is in Clonca Parish - see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bhilchey/DonegalMain.html
for maps and an explanation of townlands, parishes.

You will also find the 1901 census in Carndonagh library which also has some church records.
