Census 1901/1911 - Missing townlands or Streets

[shanew147]

Thread to document missing, or possibly missing, streets or townlands from the 1901 and or 1911 census returns. Reply to this thread with possible additions, and these will be added to the list.

Note the names of some townlands are mistranscribed, or recorded as variants, so may not be easy to locate.

The list could eventually help in correcting the census returns.

1901 Old Kilmainham missing? Looking for number 45 but can't find any street listing or under family name of O'Malley.

[sorry, forgot to put that this is from Dublin City]

Amagh- Crossmaglen. Most of the town of Crossmaglen is missing from the 1911 census. The missing streets are
Brown's Lane
Carrick Street
Creggan Street
Dundalk Street
Dundalk Road
Newtownhamilton Street
North Street
The Square.

When I tried to bring it up with the National Archives. I got absolutely no explanation. I requested and saw the actual census sheets for Crossmaglen, but the file was largely empty and no one seemed to know why the relevant sheets were missing. There seemed to be no record of what happened to the census sheets. I have all the above streets for 1901 and as this is where my ancestors lived I am familiar with where they should have been living at that time.

Inquiring about this in the National Archives some months ago, I was told the returns for these streets were never filmed.

Terraces were often not listed on their own (in Dublin city and suburbs anyway) - but appear as part of the street they were on, so are not specifically named, although details sometimes appear on the building returns.

Not all terraces are groups of houses on a street with another name. Some are small streets in their own right.  This is certainly the case with some, though probably not all, of the terraces listed in my post.  Whatever the status of the terraces, all of the places in my post are shown individually in the 1911 census.  I discovered the gap in coverage in the 1901 online returns when searching for Bessborough Parade.  Not finding it, I compared the lists for the Rathmines & Rathgar East electoral division in 1901 and 1911 and was surprised at the extent of the ommissions.  It was when I later sought out the microfilms for the area in the National Archives that I was told the returns for some of the streets had not been filmed.  I saw the paper returns for Bessborough Parade in the Archives years ago and got the information I needed but I would have liked to have had an image of the return completed by my great grandmother.
