    Remember to use the old street names! The system has never heard of "Pearse Street" in Dublin, for example (Great Brunswick Street).

    Also, have a look at what Offaly and Laois were called back in those days. Queens county and Kings county.

    Just found a guy with my ridiculously rare surname (so rare everyone with it is somehow related to me) at my school.

    Weird.

    So did mine, but don't get too excited, it can mean a lot of things. Like farm labourer or just anyone at all who called to the farm that day to do a bit of work or anything.

    We have a really rare surname. It seems every generation only has one or two boys but a whole basketful of girls so its fascinating to see where they've all gone to.

    Would be useful if they had more current census up. Could create an accurate family history and family tree.

    Census details of anyone who might still be alive should never be released into the public domain.

    As for family trees -theyre all based on the highly dubious assumption that all ones ancestors have been faithful to their spouses.

    This is brilliant!

    Go to the advanced search options and you can search people by "Illness". In the sub category you can search "Idiot" or "Lunatic". Theres heaps of them! And some married with perfectly good jobs!:D
