Release Date for 1926 Census !UPDATE!

thanks I'll try that tomorrow.

You know those people who have writing like the top of a wave? its nigh on impossible to distinguish letters 😅 just varying squiggles

the fecker

I'm seeing a lot of additional writing on the forms, in what looks like green marker, so not sure what it was done with. It seems to be correcting some of the childrens age and marriage length numbers and also grouping adults and kids to summarise numbers of adults, u18s in the properties. Presumably to be used for some reports that would have been generated from the census. I'm just surprised to see it on the individual forms. It's on all the Tipperary and Clare ones I've looked at so far. Was it a countrywide thing? Was there some cross checking done on the data. Possibly trying to undo some of the known issues with the previous census in relation to the inconsistencies between 1901 and 1911, especially around the ability to age more than 10 years in a 10 year timeframe that made a pension possible sooner.

So many more questions than answers. Any anyone who holds the answers has long taken them to their grave

Does anybody know what the numbers beside personal occupation mean?

I presume it's for categorisation elsewhere. I've lots of 992/9s (home duties). I haven't noticed a pattern so far: hairdresser 920/7, apprentice hairdresser 920/5, labourer in brewery 459/5, farm labourer 026/5 on one form and 027/5 on another, labourer for county council 581/5, motor mechanic 248/5, baker 433/5, farmer 011/8.

I think you jinxed it 😂 crashing for me now.

Also can't find either sets of grandparents (one set I'd say maybe they didn't return it, but both is making me wonder if files are still loading or search throwing a wobbly) neither are weird multiple spelling names.

The site is not working for me - I've tried different browsers without success.

edit - I got access. NAI has not updated some links, it's necessary to log on via the current home page

That's when I started, heading for a nap soon 😁 😴

I'm also struggling to find someone who I believe was at boarding school.

Separately, I've failed to find three households that I'm pretty sure were there in 1926. Not listed on the Form B either, or in adjoining townlands. I'm leaning towards them having been missed, and hoping I'm wrong. Interested to hear if anyone else has the same issue.

I ended up (by accident) going into an "industrial school" records.

I got there by the usual "family" search. The Brothers were listed first then pages (6) of all the students (who were orphans..well listed as father is dead).

Knowing what we know now, I'm honestly not the better for seeing all the names and what most likely was happening to those boys.

So to answer the question your friend should be able to find the relative by the usual method of using their name in the search function (the school or parents should have included them)
