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.  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.

For larger cities, you may want to use the street address from a city directory or a vital records certificate.
