1851 Dublin City Census - Irish Records Index Vol.3

The destruction of the 19th century Irish Census returns is probably the greatest loss that genealogy in Ireland has suffered. Prior to the destruction of the 1851 census, Dr. D.A. Chart of the Public Record Office compiled a comprehensive list of the names and addresses of heads of households for Dublin City.

This unique genealogical source has now been edited and converted to database format by Seán Magee making it available to all researchers worldwide. It contains over 60,000 names and addresses (and some occupations) in the city of Dublin.

This CD-ROM also contains scanned images of the original 1847 Ordnance Survey Town Plans of Dublin City, courtesy of Dublin Corporation. These 33 maps contain remarkable detail of all the streets and houses within the city at this time, to help users identify specific addresses.

This publication contains: Over 60,000 names and addresses. All 33 Ordnance Survey Town Plans of Dublin City from 1847, courtesy of Dublin Corporation. ISBN 0-9537557-3-8. Available from the Parish Chest (http://www.parishchest.com/en-gb/dept_2094.html).
