Here is a list of some important census substitutes.  


==== The Pender "Census" of 1659  ====
==== Strafford Survey 1635-1637 ====


This "census" was probably taken during Petty's survey between December 1654 and the year 1659. It details the names of the large estate owners and the numbers of Protestants and Catholics in each parish. The original clan names are also noted with the numbers of individuals of that surname. See:
The Strafford Survey was based on a series of inquisitions regarding land ownership in the Province of Connacht for the years 1635-1637. These were conducted by Thomas Wentworth who was the Lord Deputy and afterwards the Earl of Strafford. The basis for the survey was to produce revenue for the King and juries made up of the largest landowners in each county were instructed that their findings must be in favor of the king, or lose their estates. All but Galway conceded and the Galway jury abdicated after being severely fined by the Court of the Castle Chamber. Only the records for County Mayo survive.

The '''Strafford Survey''' (Family History Library book {{FHL|387742|title-id|disp=941.71 H2os}}), compiled c.1636, is available for the County of Mayo in the province of Connaught and serves as a substitute.

==== Down Survey 1656-1658 ====
The Down Survey is a mapped record of landownership and selected items of settlement and topography. The survey was basically concerned with lands that were confiscated after the Cromwellian victory. The most important difference between the Civil and Down Surveys is that the Civil Survey areas were estimated by jurors, whereas the Down Survey lands were measured by trained surveyors. Trinity College, Dublin has made the survey available online [http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/ Down Survey]
Look in the [https://www.familysearch.org/#form=catalog FamilySearch Catalog] for an Irish&nbsp;county of interest and the topic of 'Land and Property.'
An example for the County of Armagh is:
