Census of Ireland, often referred to as the 'Pender's Census', with number of English and Irish living
in each townland and principal Irish names in each barony. Edited by
Seamus Pender in 1939. Recorded the names of persons with title to land. The number of people in County Armagh and in each Barony:
1766 Religious Census:
The largest religious census was conducted in 1766,
when each Church of Ireland minister was requested to provide a listing of
the members of each denomination in his parish. Although some were
completed as requested, many ministers provided only the details on Church
of Ireland parishioners, and omitted Catholics, Presbyterians, etc.
Others provided a complete survey of all local inhabitants, including
family names and the numbers of children in the household. In County
Armagh
only the Householders of Parish of Creggan exists. |
Tithe Applotments: A unique land survey taken as a way
to determine the amount of tax payable by landholders to the Church of
Ireland, the Tithe Applotment Books represent a virtual census for
pre-Famine Ireland. In the original enumeration, each landholder was
recorded along with details such as townland, size of holding, land
quality and types of crops. (parishes are civil parishes)

Griffith's Valuation: The Griffith's Valuation
references individuals who occupied property in Ireland between 1848 and

the head of household, townland and land information.
