1926 Irish Census data released

In 1921 Ireland was engulfed in the War of Independence and then the Irish Civil War. So the 1921 census was postponed. On April 18th 1926 the first census of the 26 counties of the Irish Free state was carried out. Now 100 years later the records have been digitised and transcribed and will be available free on the National Archives of Ireland website from April 18th.
