Finding Your Irish Ancestors

After having a long break from looking for my Ancestors in Northern Ireland i have started my research again. Looking back to where i was before i can see the mistakes that i made. The number one mistake was not recording the source of the information fully. This has resulted in me going over old grounds which can have the added benefit of finding something that i missed the first time. These are some of the site's that i am finding useful in my research.

New Records Online For Cumberland

Cumberland has become one of the most searched areas on this site. No doubt because of it's past becoming a popular place for the Irish leaving Ireland. Take a look at this website ,i think i have seen it before but its been revived http://www.archiveweb.cumbria.gov.uk/CalmView/default.aspx

1911 England and Wales Census Collection

The 1911 England and Wales Census has been available on line for a while but it is not free to view the records. Ancestry.co.uk now has the full 1911 Census and i think they give the best value for money. For Australians who are researching their Ancestors from the UK ,it works out cheaper to take out a monthly membership with Ancestry.co.uk.I think it was about 17 dollars after it had been converted. I recently found a record on the 1911 English Census that i had been looking for,for about two years. http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/group/1911uki
