1851 Irish Census
Households and population returns, arranged by census year and jurisdiction. Coverage and the meaning of a household relationship vary by census.
25 collected reference items · 76 linked catalogue peopleCoverage, survival & limitations
1851 survives in fragments. Antrim, one Belfast ward and parts of Fermanagh retain material; Dublin city has a heads-of-household index. These are not complete county or national returns. Some returns record people absent and deaths since 1841, making the original page particularly useful for family research.
Irish census survivals and substitutes, 1821–1851
Most 1821, 1831, 1841 and 1851 returns were destroyed in the 1922 fire. Surviving original fragments include Antrim 1851; Belfast one ward 1851; Dublin city heads-of-household index 1851; Fermanagh 1821/1841/1851; Cavan 1821/1841; Cork 1841; Galway 1821; Offaly 1821; Meath 1821; Waterford 1841; and Londonderry/Derry 1831 with 1834 revisions.
The Derry 1831 material includes names of householders and counts by religion and sex, with 1834 revisions. It is not a person-by-person list of every household member. Search transcripts are finding aids; verify the scanned return and record omissions.
Reading the evidence: an index, transcript, provider search page and original image are different sources. A recorded image link does not mean its reading or identity match is confirmed. Inspect the assessment and source page before changing a family relationship. Repository guides checked 4 October 2026.
People in the collected census references
25 reference items · 76 linked catalogue people. Several citations may describe the same household; one return can name several people. Linked people include spouses and relatives and are not a verified count of Glasgow surname entries. This is our collected evidence, not a complete surname search of the surviving census.
25 references have a supported census year; 0 remain unresolved. Years come from the enumeration title or original census URL; access dates, birth years and archive numbers are excluded. Countries identify the census jurisdiction where stated, rather than a person’s birthplace.
Collected references 25
Reference items in this project, not the total surviving archive. A reference can appear in several types or locations; several references can concern the same record. Countries are inferred from source descriptions and recorded places, so check the citation. Undated and ambiguous items remain available.
