    Listening to Brian Donovan on John Murray right now about the new census records release today.

    JM referred to the fire in the Customs House and BD did not correct him! Grr.:eek:

    Didn't Fine Gael promise us that 1926 would be released if they got into power during general elections a few years ago?

    They did.

    We've discussed it on a few different threads recently. The CSO are not playing ball.

    That's a pity. If FG in power can't keep the pressure on them, there's not a lot of hope for any releases any time soon.

    I've a possible hit in 1851. By my records, he should be 10, but this person is listed as 6. They're also from Antrim which I have to verify.

    Without anything else, I've no way of confirming.

    Its the only person listed by that name in 1851 in all the records & some of his siblings names are the same as the children he went on to have.

    Should I "adopt" ?

    I'd be cautious of "adopting" anyone without definite confirmation. I'd put him in a "possible" file for now and do research around him.

    Just been talking to my mother who says there's a possible Antrim connection, as there was some sort of regular travel to Edinburgh & Kirkaldy, so it looks like I can go back another generation, on none side at least.

    This would also fit in with the family getting to Dublin as his son & granddaughter lived in Louth.

    Have a lot more fields to fill in, but have some cousins on both sides helping out with the promise of one from their perspective.



    Pity there so many missing records.
