Houses & People
The records can tell us of the number of neighbours our ancestors had, the types of occupations that they worked at and what religion they adhered to, amongst other things. After all, as the African proverb states, “It takes a whole village to raise a child”
Strong Connections
Here at Census Connections we use the Irish census returns of 1901 & 1911 to build a picture of the people who lived in these areas; we tell their stories, how they lived their lives, helping you to understand the social fabric of the community and its roots in the early nineteen hundreds.
