Orlaith McBride and Gregory Walls

The digitisation of the 1901 and 1911 censuses has been an astonishing success and has turned us into a nation of amateur genealogists and citizen researchers. We’ve had to wait a while for the sequel but it’s here at last. In April the 1926 Census, the first census of the Irish Free State was publicly released by the National Archives. Its Director, Orlaith McBride (editor) and Gregory Walls (contributor) of The Story of Us: Independent Ireland and the 1926 Census will be here to answer all your census questions.
