Address on Census Forms

Jellybaby1

I have come across a few Form A's where the Form with the actual address is missing. Can't find a previous discussion on this here. Anyone know if those forms still exist or are they lost?

Can you give an example of what you mean please?

You mean the back of the page was not scanned?

Maybe not scanned then. Didn't think of it being the back of the page!

Records taken at random for example:

This has Household Return Form A only (list of residents)
(“View Census Images”)
http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Lucan/St__Edmondsbury/1267551/

Whereas this one, has the Household Return Form A, plus the second (Family Return) Form A showing the exact address:
(“View Census Images”)

Yes, the address details are on the reverse of the Form A.
It's only obvious if you see the original paper returns.

I suspect some scans were omitted.
If you go through all the other forms attached to the return, you should be able to find it though.

In the case of your first example, the enumerator's abstract & B1 form has the townland in the top left...and that might be the full address in a rural scenario.

Thanks Pinky. The majority of my records are Dublin city, but I am also researching some rural records for a friend, which is a nightmare for a Dub like meself!
