Is anyone else having problems seeing the entire page on ipad. I was on the PC earlier and there was a bit missing but it was okay but on the ipad the search button is cut off, I can just hit Go on the keyboard so still useable.

I have same problem on my netbook couldn't see the button to look at the image. I used 'control and - ' together to make it all smaller. I am enjoying it, I think I found my aunts gfather in law, not what I was hoping for but I am happy and my cousin will be happy :)

Only counties showing any significant listings are Derry in 1831 and Antrim in 1851.In 1851 country excluding above had about 6 million people.Just 299 names survive!!!No problem getting images for search forms,but in all cases I've looked at so far, response from PRO was "family not found".

I gave up putting in family names and just looked at the entire county, pretty sure I saw a county with just one family in it.
Sad so little survived.
A lot of the search forms seem to be for single people, well at least the ones I looked at only hit on one or two listing children. The link to the Search Forms is on the Genealogy page now.

To quote http://censussearchforms.nationalarchives.ie/search/cs/home.jsp

....The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) holds Census Search Forms for people living in Antrim, Armagh, Cavan, Derry, Donegal, Down, Fermanagh, Monaghan and Tyrone at the time of their pension applications and include those who had been born or spent their childhood in other counties.....

They don't!! 

They are missing Antrim...2085 Armagh...1135 L/derry...1096 Fermanagh...1218
Tyrone...1400 and Down...1980  WITHOUT taking Cavan, Donegal or Monaghan into account!!!
