What information does the
Irish census contain?
Ireland is unusual among English-speaking census-taking
countries in that our original household manuscript returns survive. These
are the forms filled out and signed by the head of each household on
census night. Most other countries only have Enumerators' books, where
family details were transcribed by the person charged with collecting the
census information.
The basic topographical divisions for the census are:
County; District Electoral Division; Townland or Street. This is a simple
hierarchical structure which makes it easy to access any area in the
country. The returns are arranged in clusters by townland/street within
district electoral division within county. For each townland/street, there
are a number of original household returns, filled in and signed by heads
of households, and three statistical returns, dealing with religious
denominations, classification of buildings, and out-offices and farm-steadings,
filled out by the Enumerator for that townland/street
