Census HELP req'd re Clarke, Finsley & Farrell families Ballymahon, Co Longford
« on: Sunday 25 November 12 19:47 GMT (UK) »
Dear RootsChat

Please can any one help by looking through Irelands census returns for a Clarke family in Ballymahon, Co. Longford, also possibly for Finsley & Farrell families too?

I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards
Jed

You haven't given any names or dates/ages but the 1901 (first complete surviving census for Ireland) and 1911 census are both online (free) so you can have a look for the people you are looking for there.

Ballymahon Workhouse-

Sadly, the admissions registers, showing the names of those who went into the workhouse, no longer survive.

Finsley's not a common name in Longford- wonder if this is Maria with a son?

same family in 1901-
