Don't know what the problem was you had - I just checked the list and it downloaded fine and came up quickly. Perhaps check whether you have a reasonably updated acrobat reader.

Thanks for providing such a wonderful resource.

Longford records are quite incredible really. Don't know if your families are Protestant or Catholic. Either way there are some truly excellent resources. From about 1750 there are a lot of leases that were registered, but that mostly works for Protestants (no surprise there!) just as the voting list does.

One thing about the 1790 Voter lists - there are places where it is very difficult to decipher the writing of both names and locations. If there is a particular entry of interest, email me at *   and I will get you a jpg of it.

What a fabulous effort and a great resource for lots of people.
Because I am still a novice at Irish research I am not sure what I am looking at, I struggle with knowing the names of places
I am looking for Thomas Elliott (Elliot / Eliot) who was a farmer County Longford - his son James Elliott who became a policeman both in Ireland and London - it says James was born Moydow, County Longford and born about 1835-1837    The Metro Police document says that James was a farmer before being a policeman however other records have James as a policeman in Ireland - according to his marriage 1861 Killucan
I am thinking that Thomas Elliott would appear in land records as he was a farmer
Any clues greatly appreciated, regards Alison - Australia

Unfortunately it looks like this site has been usurped or moved.  Does anyone know if the transcribed list can still be found anywhere?
