A new census for Ireland at last: The 1926 census

The 1926 census was released on 18th April 2026, one hundred years to the day it was taken. It was the first census taken in the Irish Free State and as such, it has huge value for social and family historians. Between it and the previous census of 1911, Ireland experienced World War I, the Spanish flu pandemic, and of course, independence and the partition of the island. This talk will discuss the historical context of the 1926 census, demonstrate how to use it and how to follow on with other genealogical research.

Join Claire Bradley, professional genealogist, for the third talk she will give in Fingal Local Studies & Archives on the Census since its release.
