1831 Irish Census

[jjl1329]

I have been told that their exists fragments of this census, in particular Banagher, Derry.
Griffiths valuation indicates a Robert Duddy in Feeny, Banagher. I would like to see what Duddy families may have existed there in 1831, and if Roberts was one of them..

Hi,
   Welcome to Rootschat. The 1831 census for Co.Londonderry was really a religious headcount giving the name of head of house, the number of males and females and their religion. For Duddy in Banagher it does not give the townland only the Parish.
    That said there are two Robert Duddys as head of house and also John, Mathew and William in this parish.

Regards

I am particularly interest in the Robert Duddy, perhaps in Feeny, but I'll take the info on both and their family particulars

1831 census [head of household only]

Parish of Banagher
John Duddy, Clagan
William Duddy, Clagan
Robert Duddy, Feeny village
Matt Duddy, Tirglassan
Robert Duddy, Tirglassan

The 'original' will give you number of families in household [usually one], numbers and sex of occupants and relgious affiliation [and number of servants if they had any]

I am also very interested in finding an ancestor in the the 1821 Irish census. I am looking for James Corrigan born 1827.  I do not know where he was born but have been told the family came from either Mayo or Waterford. James shows up in 1851 England census as living in Prescot Lancashire. I would love to be able to find out his parents/siblings etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Gail

Hi,
   There are various Craigs in the Parish of Banagher in 1831 including several Johns but the only one in Clagan was Samuel. The census only gave the name of the head of house and the number of males and females in each household and their religion.
