Introducing iCensus
1911 Census of Ireland – All 32 counties.
The National Archive of Ireland recently released the details of the 1911 census. This is a valuable resource that includes images of the original census forms which were handwritten by the head of the household.
The forms include details on the age, religion, jobs, children and education of the occupants. Also included are the returns containing details of houses
iCensus is the ideal companion for searching this historical record.
- Search or drill down from county level
Search on any of the digitised fields (Surname, Forename, Age, Address)
- Phonetic name matching
See variations on the names you search for. This helps you locate entries that may have been spelled differently or mis-transcribed during digitisation.
e.g. Hayden, Haydan, Haiden and Haydin
