	One can search the 1901/11 censuses for free via: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Westmeath/Carrick/Kilbride/887411/ Residents of a house 18 in Kilbride (Carrick, Westmeath) Surname Forename Age Sex Relation to head Religion Birthplace Occupation Literacy Irish Language Marital Status Specified Illnesses Years Married Children Born Children Living Carey John 35 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic County Westmeath Releving Officer Read and write English Married - 1 - - Carey Mary Jane 25 Female Wife Roman Catholic County Westmeath - Read and write English Married - 1 - - Carey Joseph 33 Male Brother Roman Catholic County Westmeath Farm Servant Read and write English Single - - - - Carey Katie 30 Female Sister Roman Catholic County Westmeath - Read and write English Single - - - - Carey James 9 Male Nephew Roman Catholic County Westmeath Scholar Read and write English Note image A2 - it shows the Poor Law Union is Mullingar. In Ireland (like England) the civil registration districts were based on the poor law unions. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003552965/ This looks like the same guy in 1901 - here he's an unmarried servant a=23 http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001264255/ ----------------------------- You can buy "uncertified" images of the GROI (or whatever it's called) register enrty. They contain the same info that is in a regular "certificate" (but the're not valid for some official purposes, like claiming citizenship or getting a passport. The advantage of "uncertified" images is that they're cheaper (in both Irelands). They're cheaper still in the Republic if you provide the ref info, such as: Birth of Mary Alice Carey Yr. 1926 Qtr.2 Vol.3 Page 164 Mullingar, Co Westmeath This b.cert would give mother's maiden surname. ---------------------------- The next Irish census was 1926 (in both Irelands). I don't know when it will be released.
