 Ireland & Northern Ireland  Genealogy & History Resources BOOK - Surviving 1851 Census Returns of Ireland By chief compiler George Bushell and the Irish Special Interest Group,Ottawa Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society Originally published on CD by Ottawa Branch Ontario Genealogical Society, Ottawa 1999 This edition published by Global Heritage Press, Ottawa, 2017
As a result of the explosion and fire in the Public Record Office in Dublin on June 30th, 1922,
only a relatively small portion of the 1851 Census Returns for Ireland survived. This publication
contains transcripts of many of the surviving returns, with a surname index of the contents."Recently, what was purported to be a transcript of the 1851 census returns of County Antrim. Because of omissions and errors in the incomplete Internet transcript, members of the Irish Research Group (IRG), Ottawa Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society, decided to complete the transcript by use of microfilm copies of the surviving 1851 census". The Group transcribed 171 townlands located in 14 parishes in County Antrim, as well as a number of townlands from four parishes in County Cork. Also included are the transcription of the one surviving census return from the townland of Clonee in County Fermanagh, and the abstracts of returns for five townlands in the parish of Aglish in County Kilkenny, which were published in The Irish Ancestor (1977). Furthermore, some 1851 census abstracts found among "Old Age Pension Applications" and in the "Green Family Collection" have been included. In addition to the census returns transcribed, there are fragments (e.g. part of Loughrea Parish, County Galway) to which the Group did not have access. There are numerous other 1851 census abstracts among the Old Age Pension Applications, unorganized and unindexed, which the Group did not attempt to transcribe. These abstracts had been made before 1922 to verify the ages of persons applying for the Old Age Pension. Finally, there are some abstracts from the 1851 Census Returns published in family histories. Except for the Green Family Collection mentioned above, which is included as an example, no attempt has been made to locate family histories with census abstracts. The value of the information in these Census Returns cannot be overestimated. It provides marriage, birth, and death information prior to the introduction of civil registration in the mid 1800s. Genealogically, one can locate a family in the late 1700s by townland and parish. Individuals are placed in family groups, and in addition an insight into their economic standing is provided. Contents include:
