Jerrymurland Posted 16 February , 2006 Share Posted 16 February , 2006 Slightly off topic I know but where can I access any census information for County Down apart from PRONI? Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swizz Posted 16 February , 2006 Share Posted 16 February , 2006 It depends what you're looking for. I believe the 1911 Irish census can be seen the National Library of Ireland (Dublin), but I'm sure other forum members will know more! I've never actually used it but I think it includes the whole of Ireland (which would make sense given the time period) Swizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrymurland Posted 16 February , 2006 Author Share Posted 16 February , 2006 I just want to check who was living where with my lot who were in Castlewellen and Annsborough. I though you could view at PRONI? Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swizz Posted 16 February , 2006 Share Posted 16 February , 2006 Sorry I'm not sure - I've never used it. But I think I'm right in saying that the most recent census available within the UK is that from 1901 because there is a 100 year restriction on releasing the info. But I'm nearly sure that the 1911 one is available in Dublin. Obviously you may still find your relatives in the 1901 census. There's some info on the census records held by PRONI here: http://www.proni.gov.uk/records/census.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jerry No such luck mate! The PRONI website states "The National Archives of Ireland (Bishop Street, Dublin) hold the original census returns for both 1901 and 1911 but the 1911 census is not available in PRONI. They also hold the original fragments of the 19th century census returns." See here. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
