1841 Census
The 1841 census was taken on 7 June 1841 and survives for Killeshandra, County Cavan
.The 1841 census was filled in by the householders themselves and recorded the following information about each household member:
- Name
- Age
- Occupation
- Relationship to head of household
- Date of marriage(s)
- Ability to read/write
- Townland
- Parish
- Barony
Unusually the 1841 census also recorded:
- Family members living elsewhere including location
- Deceased family members (since 1831) including cause of death
Absent family members and visitors are both often shown in the transcript as having a different place of residence. Do make sure you check the image where more information is often revealed. This can give a fascinating insight into people’s movements for work.
The 1841 Census was also used to determine age when the old age pension was introduced in 1909.
