I am trying to trace a family that came from Ireland and was wondering on where I can get 1861 census for Ireland as Genes have only got England and wales. Ellen Hogan abt 1835 born in Ireland. :S

"Those for 1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891 were completely destroyed earlier, by order of the government, This means that the earliest surviving comprehensive returns are for 1901 and 1911. "

The GRO(I) index thru 1958 (excl N. Ireland post-partition) is available at:
https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/list#page=1®ion=EUROPE

One can purchase certs (or cheaper still, the uncertified images of the rego) via:
http://www.groireland.ie/

The Irish 1901/1911 censuses are free at:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
[Not heard of any release dates for next census (=1926 in both Irelands)]

Most City of Dublin parish registers are free online at:
http://www.irishgenealogy.ie/
[There are also Carlow, Cork & Kerry OPRs there too]
