Census 1901

[rattler]

Sorry Shane.  Brain puddled.  I kept clicking on 1901 irish census but when it opened it was uk.  I will try the one you sent.  I had that sight in my bookmarks, but thought it was only for the 1911.  Thanks for the speedy reply.  It is my Walsh family i am after.  will try to see if I can track them down on that site.  Watch this space, Anne

Word of warning – in my first hour searching I found numerous transcription errors, which is understandable when deciphering handwriting.

For example I found that three siblings of the KIRWAN family living in separate houses have their surname transcribed as KERWIN, KIRIVAN and KINVAN   respectively!!!  I only found them by looking at the list of surnames for the particular townland. Also found a CURRAN transcribed as CURAN amongst others.

I have come across some  omissions in my own search.   I was looking for  a  branch of my own family in a townsland  Kilkeny, which is in the 1911 census, and it is not in the  1901  census.    It and they were there long before  1901.  lol.
But in fairness, I think that there are some additions to be included later on.
Hope so, as  it is a thumbs up for the information that is there.

Hi.  I have now found my Walsh family in the 1901Wexford  census.  They were living in 1 Castlehill Street.  They had previously lived in King Street.  Shown are John,  wife Mary.  Sons, John Joseph, William, James and Francis.  Can find no trace of them in 1911 although at that time my grandparents had moved to Liverpool.  Anne

If you know first name and approx age then just use that...

Search

then select 100 per page, sort by Surname

Because you get 5 years each way...

If someone was 4 then put in Age 1 and one only gets them up to age 6 instead of 9!!
