A census is a count and description of the population of an area. When available, census records can provide names, ages, occupations, marital statuses, birthplaces, and family members' relationships. Censuses can also provide clues that lead to other records. A census may list only selected people for a special reason (such as males between the ages of 16 and 45 for military purposes) or the whole population. The percentage of people listed depends on the purpose of the census and on how careful the enumerator was.<br><br> | A census is a count and description of the population of an area.

Only parts of the early civil censuses survive. The censuses from 1821 through 1851 were mostly destroyed in the 1922 fire at the Public Record Office in Dublin. The censuses from 1861 through 1891 were destroyed by the government sometime after statistics had been compiled from them.

The censuses from 1861 through 1891 were destroyed by the government sometime after statistics had been compiled from them. For more information see the FamilySearch Library reference guide ''Register of Ireland Census & Census Substitutes'' (FS Library book 941.5 X23c) or see [[Ireland Census fragments available at the FamilySearch Library]]. Also there is the [[Ireland Householders Index]]. From 1823 to 1864, records were kept of people who paid taxes to the Church of Ireland or the government in Ireland. | ||
The 1901 census is the first complete census available for Ireland. The 1901 and 1911 censuses are available to the public and are now [http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ online], but all censuses taken since 1911 are not. The 1821 to 1851 censuses are divided by county, barony, civil parish, and townland. The 1901 and 1911 censuses are divided by county, electoral division, and townland. | The 1901 census is the first complete census available for Ireland.
