I let out a huge groan when I get census material that says born in Ireland.  I keep giving it up,  then going back for a quick tinker.  It does give me an excuse to go and have a jolly in Ireland though.  My friend made me laugh as she went to Ireland to discover her family history but came back with absolutley nothing, but what made me laugh was that there are only four houses in the village where her ancestors lived, how could she not find something?  I have recently tried to order a marriage cert from the PRONI but I had to have the district that they were married in.  Is there no census material for Ireland or was it all destroyed?

Not all material was destroyed wheeldon, and as it's Irish Records you're specifically interested in, I suggest you post your query on the Ireland Board, I'm sure somebody there will oblige with the details.

Cheers

Thanks Mobo, I will do, I feel quite mentally stable at the moment to tackle my Irish origins.

In 1851, a Census of the Townlands & Towns of Ireland was taken, which showed.....

the Townland & Town,
the Barony,
the Parish,
and the Poor Law Union
of All the Counties in Ireland

I happen to have a copy of this book, so if anyone needs info on their own 'County' I'll look it up for them with pleasure.

Hi, does anyone have the 1841 census I am looking for Michael Doyle County Sligo and Charles Maguire Tipperary. Thanks. Tess

Have you tried the IRELAND Board Tess ?

This topic is for people seeking info on their Irish Ancestors who emigrated to Britain.

Hi Mobo, yes i have tried the irish board, and yes my relatives came to England from Ireland. Just thought I would try Irish Ancestry and see if I was lucky there. Thanks Tess

Sorry Thindle - I mis-read your post as I thought you were referring to an 1841 Census (In Ireland).   

Because you didn't state that the Doyles were from Sligo and the McGuires from Tipperary in your original post, the wires have got crossed unfortunately.

If I read you correctly now then, it would seem that you want to find them on the 1841 British Census. If this is the case, you'll need to post Look-Up requests for the 1841 Census on both the LIVERPOOL and HULL Boards.

Having said that, I'm a little confused - as you aready know the Counties of these people, what is it you hope to find on such an early British Census, especially the 1841 with it's lack of detail  ?
