Dublin 1851 census

Morning All

Does anyone have access to the Deblin 1851 census (which google tells me has been transcribed) to help find Digges in Dublin:

the Dublin Census 1851 is an extract of heads of households for Dublin City area only (roughly the area bounded by the two canals). These are the Diggs entries :

  West D .Digges,31 Seville Place   
  Hy. Diggs, 50 Gardiner St. Lower   
  Joseph Diggs, 43 Bride St.   
  Rob. Diggs, 13 Oriel St. Upper

There is no 1851 census for Dublin.The so called "census" refers to Griffith's Valuation listing occupiers of houses and land at the time.There are no details of household members,beyond the name of the head of household.

The data mentioned comes from an extract created for Dublin City from the actual 1851 census before it was destroyed, it's not the same as Griffiths.


edit :

there's more info about it at this

Thank you Shane.I stand corrected.

[shanew147]

it is not mentioned much, and I only heard of myself in the last year or two. But it is very useful as it includes occupants of tenements etc which Griffiths and Thom's directory do not.

Is there a lookup request facility of this version of the Census?
