Important Notice (Updated February 2025)

This census records system has been replaced with a newer version available at https://nationalarchives.ie/collections/search-the-census/ and will be coming offline in the coming months. Any updates made to the data will only be reflected in the new system and there will be no automated links established between the old and new census systems. Please ensure you make all necessary arrangements as soon as possible.

About the census

New counties online

Donegal, Cork, Galway, Wexford and King’s County (Offaly) are now available on the site. Even though there is still some material missing (in particular, some Irish language returns, and corrections submitted by the public), we have decided to make the material available, in the knowledge that the vast majority of our users will be able to find what they want. Corrections and improvements will be ongoing, and we are very grateful to all users who have submitted corrections to us.

See Further Plans for information about the next tranches of material.
