Births, deaths and Catholic marriages were not included. Only in January 1864 did it become obligatory to register all births, marriages. All census details were destroyed - only 1901 and 1911 survived and are available http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ If you know the parish where your ancester was born you could try this site http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ or Familysearch (site takes a few moments to load) http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=2;t=searchable;c=1408347 This site has good general info http://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/index.html MB
