Pre 1901 census fragments and Census Search Forms

[Dolmen]

These collections will be launched online on 28 April, according to Clare Santry's Irish Genealogy News at http://irish-genealogy-news.blogspot.com/2014/04/exclusive-countdown-to-pre-1901-irish.html 

Been waiting years for them.

I knew the Census fragments existed but didn't know about the Census Search Forms. This is GREAT.
Thanks Dolmen.

Fingers crossed some of my lot are there.

Thanks for the info Dolmen. I'll also keep my fingers crossed but I don't hold much hope as it appears that nothing survives for Dublin which is where my lot are from.

Thanks for the heads up, Dolmen. It will be interesting to see what has survived.

I can see the Censuses ( I'm refusing to be disappoint, it was expected) I don't see the Search Forms. Am I being a clutts or are they not there yet?

They are there - but seem not to be mentioned on the main genealogy home page yet.  I got the link from Claire Santry's blog: http://irish-genealogy-news.blogspot.com/2014/04/pre-1901-irish-census-records-launch.html

Thank you Purpeller, first glance doesn't look good for me but it's great to see these records online.

They are all on the home page now. I have just been looking but nothing for me that I can see
It is great that they have put what there is online but it makes me sad for the loss of the records, looking at what we might have had !!
Good luck to those who find some relevant records, I am enjoying looking at them anyway.

Just had a quick look at search forms.Virtually all I've seen say nothing found.
