==== Old Age Irish Pension Records ==== | |||
When the Irish government began to provide old age pensions in 1908, applicants were required to provide proof of their age but most were born before the government began registering births in 1864. Therefore extracts from the 1841 and 1851 censuses were accepted as proof of age. These extracts constitute a small substitute for the lost census. | |||
Old age Irish Pension Records now available online can help give vital information found in the 1841 & 1851 Ireland Census records.[http://www.ireland-genealogy.com/ www.ireland-genealogy.com.] | |||
