The Irish 1901 Census went online today at National Archives of Ireland where you can search free of charge and download digital images of the relevant Census page, the House & Building Return and the Enumerator’s Abstract for the Townland or Street. I’ve already found an elusive Scottish McCrae couple who married in Partick, Lanark in 1886 then dashed off to Ireland where they had 4 children before returning to Scotland. Interestingly, the “Rank, Profession or Occupation” of the youngest child, Annie, aged 2, is “Mammy’s Pet”! It must have been Dad who answered the questions on the form…. Has anyone else found something “unusual” on a Census? Please leave a comment
