| Sources for Irish Source Records, 1500s-1800s: |
- A Guide to Copies and Abstracts of Irish Wills
by Rev. Wallace Clare
Record of the wills included in A Guide to Copies and Abstracts of Irish
Wills is made possible by the fact that they were copied or abstracted
prior to the 1922 fire. The guide references the testators and whereabouts
of 4,000 Irish wills.
- Quaker Records, Dublin, Abstracts of Wills
by P. Beryl Eustace, and Olive C. Goodbody
These abstracts of Quaker wills are arranged in alphabetical order according
to the testator's surnames and include all information of genealogical
value.
- Irish Marriages
by Henry Farrar
In this collection of marriage records from Walker's Hibernian Magazine,
1771-1812, you have the opportunity to learn the following about a bride
or groom: name of spouse, date and place of marriage, places of residence,
occupation and station of the groom, and the ames of parents and their
places of residence.
- Return of Owners of Land in Ireland 1876
In 1873 the Local Government Board in Ireland set about to determine
the number and names of individuals who owned one or more acres of land
in Ireland. Clerks of the various Poor Law Unions drew up lists of landowners
from their property valuations and rate books. Returned to the Local
Government Board by the end of 1875, the information was then arranged
into counties, alphabetized, and published in 1876. Since the returns
include the names of owners of modest acres as well as great estates,
this collection of returns acts as a census substitute of the 1876 population
of Ireland.
- County Cork, Ireland, a Collection of 1851 Census Records
by Josephine Masterson
Although most of the surviving 1851 census fragments cover County Antrim,
here you'll find the first published transcription of a little-known
surviving census fragment for County Cork. This particular fragment
deals exclusively with Kilcrumper and Kilworth parishes in County Cork
and includes all of their townlands. The Union of Kilworth is also represented
and you'll find record for all but four townlands in Leitrim as well
as five of Macroney's sixteen townlands. Approximately 4,000 Irish householders
are included in this surviving fragment. Generally, you'll find the
following information about a householder: full name, age, relationship
to the head of the household, townland, parish, page number of the original
transcription, and remarks such as "widow," "gone to
America," etc.
- Ireland: 1841/1851 Census Abstracts (Northern Ireland)
by Josephine Masterson
This partial reconstruction of the 1841 and 1851 censuses of Northern
Ireland identifies approximately 23,000 individuals. It was reconstructed
using census records extracted from Ireland's Old Age Pension records
as well as census fragments and miscellaneous data found in both the
Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (Belfast) and the National
Archives in Dublin. Generally, you'll learn the following information:
the name of the head of household, his wife's name, his marriage date,
his place of residence, names and ages of children, names of other family
members living in the household, and persons who died in the ten years
previous to the census. Within the book, entries are in alphabetical
order and are cross-indexed for relatives, lodgers, visitors, and servants.
There are also cross-indexes for married and maiden names of daughters
and wives.
- Ireland: 1841/1851 Census Abstracts (Republic of Ireland)
by Josephine Masterson
This partial reconstruction of the 1841 and 1851 censuses of the Republic
of Ireland identifies approximately 5,800 individuals. It was reconstructed
using census records extracted from Ireland's Old Age Pension records
as well as census fragments and miscellaneous data found in both the
Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (Belfast) and the National
Archives in Dublin. Generally, you'll learn the following information:
the name of the head of household, his wife's name, his marriage date,
his place of residence, names and ages of children, names of other family
members living in the household, and persons who died in the ten years
previous to the census. Within the book, entries are in alphabetical
order and are cross-indexed for relatives, lodgers, visitors, and servants.
There are also cross-indexes for married and maiden names of daughters
and wives.
- Indexes to Irish Wills (5 Volumes)
edited by William P. W. Phillimore and Gertrude Thrift
More than 30,000 Diocesan wills proved in the Consistorial Courts of
Ireland between 1536 and 1857 are included within the five volumes that
make up the complete set of Indexes to Irish Wills. Arranged by Dioceses,
and preceded by maps showing in which Dioceses the various Irish counties
are situated, you'll generally find the name, parish, county, and date
of probate. This is often the only source for determining the social
and financial status of an ancestor. These indexes also provide clues
for checking land records for an estate partition and transfers of lease
from testator to heir.
- Index to the Prerogative Wills of Ireland 1536-1810
by Sir Arthur Vicars
Prior to the 1922 Dublin courthouse fire, Sir William Betham abstracted
the genealogical data from the wills from 1536 to 1800. An index to
that work, here you'll find reference to more than 40,000 individuals.
Arranged alphabetically by the name of the testator, you'll find the
following information about a person listed in this book: full name,
rank, occupation or condition, town or county of residence, and the
year when the estate was probated.
