Ireland Census: Difference between revisions

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 Pender, Séamus. ''A Census of Ireland, circa 1659: with supplementary material from the Poll Money Ordinances (1660-1661).'' Dublin: Stationery Office, 1939. (FHL book British 941.5 X29c.)<br>

The Civil Survey was taken from 1654 - circa 1660. It was a survey of the holdings of landowners, their titles and tenures of their estates. Twenty-seven counties were included in the survey covering the provinces of Ulster, Leinster, Muster and a portion of Connaught. The '''Strafford Survey '''compiled c.1636 is available for the County of Mayo&nbsp;in the province of Connaught and serves as a substitute. For the Civil Survey, see: Simington, Robert C., editor.
