Ireland 1911 Census - Free online access!

[arthurk]

Does anyone know the correct way to cite an entry in the 1911 Ireland Census, please? I'm wanting to enter data into my FH program using the census as a source, and would like to get it right.

Having looked at a couple of entries, the only reference I could see was a Household Number (not the same as the house address) on a street within a District Electoral Division. The Enumerator's Abstracts (Form N) have an oval near the top with various numbers in it, but do these help at all? Since the whole thing seems to be organised by address, I suspect not.

Thanks for any help,
Arthur

Hello.

Where else can you view Irish censuses?

[arthurk]

Unfortunately there aren't many surviving census records for Ireland. The Irish National Archives are gradually getting 1911 online, to be followed by 1901. Other than that it's very hit-and-miss - the censusfinder site has links to most or all of what's available.

The latest update from the National Archives of Ireland is that they hope to have the following counties online by the end of May:
Cork, Donegal, Wexford, Galway and King’s County (Offaly).

Then hopefully by mid July:
Limerick, Mayo,Waterford, Armagh, Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Fermanagh, Kildare, Kilkenny and Leitrim.

Then hopefully by mid August:
Londonderry (Derry), Longford, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Queen’s County (Laois), Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Tyrone, Westmeath and Wicklow.

In September, the site will be revised to include full transcription of all of the data on the household forms for 1911, including religion, occupation, relationship to head of family, literacy status, marital status, county or country of origin, Irish language proficiency, specified illnesses, and child survival information.

Then towards the end of 2009 they hope to launch 1901, with all data transcribed.

Well! It might be complete, but I cannot find my ancestor in Letterkenny and I know it exists, because I bought it from the Dublin Office.
