1831 census
« on: Wednesday 21 March 18 07:04 GMT (UK) »
Hello , I managed to get the 1831 census off FindMyPast for a person I was looking for but sadly it does not give his place of birth , is this normal ? He was John Crossan living at Ballyneal Beg ,Artrea , Loughinsholin , Londonderry .Any advice or help would be much appreciated , thank you .
Regards
Alan

Yes it is normal.

You could try RC registers IF they were RC............

I think they are searchable on FindMyPast...

The 1831 census only lists head of household by name, then number of males and females, etc.

According to this list no parish registers before 1832-

Sadly, this is often the farthest many people can trace a particular ancestor.
