The data gathered in this index is particularly significant because almost all of Ireland’s census records before 1901 were destroyed in a 1922 blaze at Dublin’s Public Records Office. This resource offers recompiled versions of the 1841 and 1851 censuses, drawing from extensive research and the remaining fragments of the 1851 census for County Cork. Moreover, it includes copies of wills recorded before the devastating fire.
