There are some tips regarding Irish research on the tips board that I shall bring forward for you.

Happy hunting.

Synopsis
Compulsory civil registration of non-Roman Catholic marriages began on April 1st, 1845. The registration of births, deaths and all marriages commenced on January 1st, 1864. The General Register Office (GRO), holds copies of all civil records for the whole of Ireland, from the commencement of registration, up to and including the year 1921. From 1922 onwards, the GRO holds copies of the records for the Republic of Ireland only, those records for the six counties of Northern Ireland are held by the Public Records Office in Belfast, Co. Antrim.

The indices are arranged in alphabetical order, and include the following information - Surname / Christian name / Name of the Registration District also known as the 'Superintendent Registrar's District' (in which the birth, marriage or death took place) / Volume and page number of the register in which the entry is recorded.

Up to the end of 1877 the indices were arranged alphabetically, by year. From 1878 onwards each year was divided into quarters, January-March, April-June, July-September and October-December. The surnames for each quarter are listed alphabetically.

From 1903 onwards, the index of births included the mother's maiden name.

If your ancestor was born, married or died in Ireland after January 1st, 1864 (and, in the case of a non Roman Catholic marriages after April 1st, 1845) the particular event should be registered. However, many births, marriages and deaths were never registered, during the earlier years.

Most Irish census records before 1901 have been lost.

GOOD NEWS
Some original census records survive. Irish census records were taken every 10 years between 1821 and 1911. Where they survive, they are wonderful. Irish census records listed everyone in the household beginning in 1821. There is a list, by county, in Grenham’s Tracing Your Irish Ancestors of surviving original census records which collected the same kind of information as the 1901/1911 census (see following pages). “All Census Returns list the people by parish and county, giving the name of the head of the household, the names of all members of the family, present and absent, and for everyone their age, birthplace, religion and occupation for adults.” [Falley: 249, vol.1]

Even if the individual census records for your research area no longer exist, the cumulative statistical analyses do survive and are available in major libraries. They provide statistical breakouts of the data in detail usually by the parish level (literacy, age, marital status, religion, occupation, type of housing, etc.). The 1851 census report by William Wilde, under the heading Death Report, actually provides historical reporting of incidents affecting life in Ireland going back hundreds of years. There is also data on each townland (with number of men, women, inhabited houses, uninhabited houses) beginning in 1851. All of these provide background information on the lives of our ancestors. This is the color that we need to understand and describe our heritage.
