Ireland / Re: Census 1901/1911 - Missing townlands or Streets

Hi,
Thanks for replying, I eventually found the listings. So, Silliothill returns have been incorrectly catalogued as Chapel Hill for the 1901 census. If you look up Chapel Hill in Kildare town, you'll notice that there are duplicate house numbers (i.e. two 'House 1', two 'House 2', etc.) Half of the houses are actually Silliothill!  Hope this might be helpful for anyone else searching the 1901 census for Silliothill, Kildare town.
On the parishes, yes it's a strange one, and I'd bet there's a good story behind that too!

Hi all,

I'm looking for census records for a townland called Silliothill, just outside Kildare Town. It appears in Griffith Valuation, and again in 1911, but it's missing entirely from 1901.

I know the townland is often confused with another Silliothill near Kilcullen. And to really complicate matters, my Silliothill is part of Moone parish, even though its not near Moone at all! I suspect some clerical falling-out in medieval times may have been at play!

If anyone has any insights on this Silliothill (near Kildare town) from 1901 census, I would be very grateful 🙏
