Census Returns for Co. Londonderry
The
1831 Census Returns provide a unique record of family
names in the county for the period before the Famine.
As far as I know, Londonderry is the only county in
Ireland that has such a source - read
more. I have prepared a database of 41,250 names
listed in these returns - read
more. Note that the PDF file is very large [17MB]
and may take some time to download. If
you have not already done so you should read the paper
on Databases
before searching the databases.

It
is often possible to relate the names in these returns
with some names in the Tithe Applotment Books, the
Townland Valuation and the Griffith's [Tenement] Valuation.
However to do this it is necessary to follow the order
of the names in the original document. Note that the
names in the above county database do not follow that
order. Microfilm copies of this census can be viewed
in PRONI, Belfast and in the Local Studies Department
in Ballymena Library.
