Conaham Eliza
Conaghan James
         "       John
         "       Michael
         "       William

Are there any ages or occupations listed in the census, as we know that William was, surprise, surprise a Farmer.
Cheers, Ritchie

1831 census only lists head of household, number of males and females in the household and religon (number of R.C., E.C., Presbyterian, other).

Sorry Richard, my CD is only an index which lists head of household only.

Very few census records pre-1901 survive.

You might find it useful to read about how to research Irish records (although the title says Donegal much of it also applies to Londonderry)-

The original post was from my husbands family, but we now have more information from Scottish birth certificates and poor relief applications if anyone can help. I have a birth of a Henry Revie in Glasgow and it states that his mother Helen (ellen) Hill ( daughter of Daniel Hill and Helen Conaghan) married his father John Revie( Reavie,Revey, McArevie, McReavie) in Londonderry on 20th October 1858. The poor relief and marriage certificates all say Londonderry, can anyone tell me where to look, would it be the Cathedral or are there many RC churches in Londonderry or is there a central place where the records are kept. I have had a look on the IGI and can't find any info so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks. Lorna
