Many of the surviving fragments of the early Irish censuses have been extracted and indexed, but little indexing has been done for the 1901 census. The 1901 census indexes that have been produced are for specific areas and are arranged by street or by individuals' names.  
Many of the surviving fragments of the early Irish censuses have been extracted and indexed.  Indexes by surname and by address or street exist for the 1901 and 1911 censuses for many localities, including some online.  To see a list of census indexes available online, go to the 'Census Finder' web page for [http://www.censusfinder.com/ireland.htm Ireland] and check the list for your county of interest.
 
Census indexes can save you time. However, indexes may be incorrect or incomplete. Therefore, if you believe your ancestor should be listed in a census area's index, but he or she is not, search the actual census anyway.
