Census records in the NLI parish registers

Claire Santry's posted today about a small census found in the parish registers for Ballymena, Co. Antrim.

It's absolutely fascinating and really shows the worth of seeing the original images.

There are a few of these census in registers - I've seen one for Enniscorthy in 1861, although the details are quite basic, just the names and address for most entries - see : http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634062#page/3/mode/1up

Thanks, Shane. I think we'll split this off into its own thread.

If anyone finds a census of any kind in the parish records, please add a link and details to this thread.

I see there's some called Peter Leary in that Enniscorthy census who is recorded as "dead"!

Perhaps still above ground.

two more for you ...

Marshalstown & Kilmeashall/Kilmashall/Kilmyshall, Newtownbarry/Bunclody, Co. Wexford - 1867 includes names, ages, occupations etc


Lusmagh, Co. Offaly (S.W. of Bannagher) - 1824 parishioners, looks to be just heads of household with address

Aglomerado

Kilfenora in Co. Clare also has a Census, taken in 1866.

I found many ancestors in this Census alone!
