It's a great disappointment not having any family living in the Republic of Ireland in 1926. I'm reduced to looking up other people's families. #Census1926

In a letter Pádraig Ó Conchubhair recounted a visit to Marsh's in 1924 when he was blocked from entering by a woman cleaning the steps. She took him for a gunman in his fedora and trench coat. #1926Census has possibly given a name to our defender, library caretaker Mary Ann Gwynne #Census1926

A different feel to the newest Census release. The scans are so so clean, easier to read in the cases I've looked at.
Maybe not as much information as expected.
2 Searches for tonight;
1 not found
1 found at unexpected address - with a new Grand-Aunt I hadn't known of.

Think I might have found my grandfather on my father’s side in Roscommon, age 19, listed as a coal miner.
