I stumbled across PRONI's online street directories, and thought they might be of interest to others.

In particular, there's a search link at right at:

1922 Irish Army Census
http://census.militaryarchives.ie/

Although I have also posted the link on the Military thread, it may be useful to some of you.
It is also useful to refer to the link about why the census was taken

Ashamedly, I dont have a very good knowledge of the political history surrounding partition, but my mum often talked about her family and their involvement. ( Free State)

I had a look at the at my mother's home town and was astounded to find 6 of her relatives in a Garrison of just 16 men, including her grandfather , an uncle and a cousin.
All 16 had occupied the former Barracks as civilian men due to it being a troublesome area
All of them were subsequently signed up to the Irish Army in July 1922 where mum's uncle was the Sergeant who signed their census.

I had no idea that I would find them on this census!

EDIT:
Apologies as I see that Joy posted the same link back in March, and is now fully searchable by name or area

Still searching for 2 irish nurses who were in Manchester in 1951 who had a brother called John Rynne/Rynn who was my father(i was born in 1952)-if I found the nurses(don't know their christian names)I could find my father-there are many Johns-they may have returned to Ireland or gone to USA as he was "Irish/American"-these women if alive are unlikely to go on this site but they could have descendents who do-grateful for any help.My mothers's name was Winnie Williams.

thank you so much for posting this ;D

Above site became available on 3 Jul 2014.
It has some improved GRO indexes to those currently available on FS or on Ancestry.
For births from 1900 onwards, the mother's maiden name is included.
Many births and marriages have the actual dates.
It may be worth referring to this link first, which provides a bit more info on the updated site.

I used it to find exact DOBs and subsequent marriage dates for my families who appear on the 1911 Irish census returns!

Edit @ 22 Jul. The above site has been removed

i have a 1911 census and a marriage date for william o'brien & genevieve fitzgerald in dublin. married 1908. i cannot find them on a 1901 census though william o'brien would be difficult. i cannot find a birth for genevieve on any sites i have tried. would there be any reason for this? i did find a genevefra fitzgerald born 1882 - i have her as 1887 - so not sure if this is a correct one. any reason do you think why i cannot find her on the 1901 census or a birth? thankyou

These websites are so brilliant i lost trace of some family fron 1891 for birkenhead found them all in ireland alive and kicking thanks for putting up the info

Great site, thank you.

I found my 2 x great grandad baptized at Dublin. :-)

I wonder if anyone can find details about my father.
William Faraday born 1928 in Dublin Ireland

The rest of the family had the surname of Keegan, but would never say why!

The only child that I found of the same name died after to hours. I found out in Ireland where all people were very helpfull

He never met his mother and as the person who,brought him up was going to,tell him the truth but at the,end she could not do so as she had made a promise.

My father was very fortunate to have a good home, a good education , and money was sent to him from USA,until,the age,of 21.

Anyone else seen this?
I got in in a genealogy organisation newsletter.

Big changes to Irish Genealogy research coming soon

Online Catholic parish registers from the National Library of Ireland available in the coming summer

A huge change is coming soon for everyone involved in Irish genealogy. By summer 2015, the National Library of Ireland will have a dedicated website making its collection of Catholic parish register microfilms freely available online. These records are – by a long way – the single most important source of historical Irish family information, one of the greatest legacies of the Catholic Church to Ireland.

It is important to understand precisely what the website will do. The Library’s aim is to reproduce on the internet the service already available to the public in the microfilm reading room in Kildare Street in Dublin, where images of 98 per cent of parish registers before 1880 can already be viewed by anybody, without payment or membership or proof of identity.

The new site will offer precisely the same (sometimes frustrating) opportunity to look at (sometimes blurred) photographic reproductions of the original records. But instead of having to travel to Dublin from Buncrana or Ballymena or Boston, you will now be able to view them online. With this service, the Library is simply taking at face value the word “National” in its own title.

What are the implications? Clearly, once these images are as easily available in Salt Lake City and Bangalore as they are in Dublin, swarms of transcribers will descend. Ideally, the results will be free, though some transcripts may sit behind paywalls. On the other hand, there will be nothing to stop any local history society in the country from just putting a transcript of their own parishes online. The more the merrier.

Yippee!

I am planning to go to Ireland next year and would love to find where my G. Grandmother Mary Kane, Cain etc. was from. Her parents were Robert and Mary Cooper Kane. All born in Ireland. They went to Scotland and Mary married an Alexander Wilson, also Irish and they had a son Alexander Wilson in Scotland. I can trace her in Scotland but haven`t had any luck finding her in Ireland. Can anyone help please.
Regards
Sheila
