Ireland 1911 Census - Free online access!

[EricS]

You might like to know that the National Archives in Ireland have started to publish the 1911 Census of Ireland data, complete with scanned copies of the original census returns! However, currently only Dublin data is available. Website is http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/

Administrator please note this - it could be very very useful to anyone seeking information on their relatives living in Dublin at the time.

Best of luck,

I found my 2x's great uncle, his wife and 3 children yesterday! I was more than a little pleased

I did find that less is more when inputting info into search fields - I got no hits the first time with first name but bingo without!

I found a GGrandmother and 4 of her children

Now if they would only get the BMD's online!

I'm pleased you guys had some good results on the 1911 Ireland Census website. It should be even better when the site eventually puts up the data for all of Ireland. Can I ask the Administrator to spread the word on this website as I'm sure there are others out there who could benefit from it.

Great news Jan. I have found a very dodgy / possible also for my ggf Thomas Hines / Hynes. Too early to leap up and down yet!

Yes, the missing James Hart. However.... although the age is right, has 2 sisters (which we were aware of but not names) and he's the only one of that name and age in Dublin, his mother is a widow and I only have his father's name.

Hence the may...

Good luck with Thomas,

Do we have any idea when the National Archives are going to be adding to the new website? I am impatiently waiting for Antrim to come online!!!!
