district boundarys
« on: Sunday 26 April 09 17:30 UTC (UK) »
hello all,
Is there a website which shows the coverage of the Registration districts. I have seen mention of county boundary changes so the districts change as well? What is covered/not by Waterford district

thanks

something like this ?

it just shows the districts - I've done some town, registrations district lists for other counties - see :  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,380284.0.html

If a Waterford version would be of use let me know and I'll add to my to-do list

The Registration District boundaries do not change as far as I know, and have stayed the same since they were introduced originally as Poor Law Unions. The DEDs (District Electoral Division), as used by the Census, can and do change.

you can also search the townland database at http://seanruad.com for details of registration districts. Just enter a registration district name in the Poor Law Unions box and hit search, you will get a list of all the townlands in that district.

I've posted a list of towns and their registration districts at this link :

  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=381126.new#new

it might be assistance in figuring out the areas involved in the districts.
