1901 Irish Census Goes Online
By: Rick Roberts, Biography & Archived Articles
 Rick Roberts |
The 1901 Irish census is the earliest surviving complete Census of Ireland. And now it is online and free. Website visitors can access more than 4.5 million records from 1901.
IrishTimes.com informs us that "Some 850,000 households on the entire island were covered in the census, which was taken on the night of Sunday, March 31st, 1901. The latest records to go online are expected to rival the popularity of the 1911 Census records, which were went up on the web between 2007 and 2009 and have since attracted more than 260 million hits and seven million individual users, in spite of the fact that it has not been launched formally in the US."
The 1901 census is the oldest surviving Irish census. With a few minor exceptions, all Irish census prior to 1901 were destroyed. The destruction of early Irish census documents was initially the result of unrecognized value of historical census, then some of the remaining census fell victim to early 20th century paper recycling, and finally the remainder was lost to fire during the conflict that resulted in independence for the Republic of Ireland.
