Our Walsh Families in the 1901 Irish Census
The Irish census of 1901 & 1912 are the earliest available. The returns for 1831-1871 were destroyed 22 June 1922 during the Irish Civil War in a fire at the Public Record Office of Ireland now the National Archives of Ireland. The 1881 and 1891 were pulped for paper by the British during WW1. These were the only census records the British destroyed for this purpose.
The 1901 census consisted of four forms/pages for each household. Three of the forms have been attached below.
1. Enumerator's abstract - details of number of houses in townland & occupants
2. Household - filled in and signed by head of household
3. House & Building - details of the houses
