Help please! Where is the transcribed version of Old Age Pension 1841/51?

[california dreamin]

Can anyone help me I've been particularly stupid.  At the end of Oct/early Nov I happened to find and was searching a transcribed version of the 1841/1851 Old Age Pension.  I've been searching for any information on my 2x great-grandmother.  Lo and behold I think I found a lead on the pension information (as a member of her family must have put in for a claim). I couldn't believe my luck.   But, I got busy and thought I would go back to it at a later date (which is now) 

However, I don't appear to have book marked the website or database or whatever!! where the information came from!    I can tell you where it is not:  Ancestry, FindMyPast, Rootsireland, Family Search.  Whilst all these have information and some you can see an original form - this was a transcribed page that included the whole family, in some instances gave the mother's maiden name, and also listed the townland details of the family.

I'm hoping someone else has found and used this information and could tell me where it is. I'm going demented trying to think where it came from 

Thanks

Maybe it was the result page from here
http://censussearchforms.nationalarchives.ie/search/cs/home.jsp

or the details page one you click on a result.

Hi Sinann

No , not that site either. When I wanted to start my search again I also thought it was that site and headed straight for it but was horrified to see it wasn't the correct site..the information it brings up doesn't even give me what I had found before.

I just can't think who complied this list.

Have you tried googling surname + townland + pension (or similar)?

Hi

I've tried like - 1841/1851 Irish old age pensions - replaced 'old age pension' with 'census' and variations thereof. It brings up the usual websites which carry this information.

I don't know why but I'm thinking I found something on Google books or similar. I've also just tried looking up the Josephine Masterson book but it's not digital. 

I'm also thinking it was a searchable database... but this would make me think it was not a digital book.  What a mess!

In theory you might be able to troll through pages of your computer's history around that period to locate the site 

If you post the name + townland some of us could also try searching

Okay I've been even more stupid than I thought   

It is on Ancestry. I did a google search and it brought up this data set on Ancestry:
Ireland, 1841/1851 Census Abstracts (Northern Ireland)  Part II - 1851 census from Old age pensions records.  AND it is from the Josephine Masterson book.

Sorry everyone - panic over.....   

Thanks aghadowey...

It's a well-known fact the Holiday Season can be stressful 

Glad that you were able to find it without going back through computer's history

Stressful is right!  I'm just about it go and search out the Bailey's 

The Old Age Pension lead is THE best I've had for such a long time.  So my search is now taking me to a townland called GLENERIN which looks lovely.  I'm so hoping that this time my search for Margaret goes well.  After a Bailey's obs!

Thanks again.
