	woo hoo Joy! Thanks, have been waiting for that :) not that it will tell me a great deal more probably, but interesting just the same to see whether there are any more in the family than appear in 1911 ( my gt grandfather was already over here before either of them ) xx

Member Since: December 2008 Posts: 64 Send Message	I am just itching to get my hands on this - it could plug a lot of gaps in my research. But what's the betting the site crashes instantly under the weight of all our curious gazes?!

	Again, you are most welcome :-) Only a few hours to go now. How lucky we are to be able to see soon, absolutely free, the 1901 as well as the 1911 Irish census.

	Its live NOW. Just been over there to look for something in 1911 and the 1901 search option is available. Happy hunting
Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 23,195 Send Message	Joy	Report	2 Jun 2010 21:45
	Indeed :-) Happy hunting :-)

	Thats good Joy Found 2 GG Grandfathers who were not around in 1911 alive and well in 1901 so now have just a 10 yr search window for deaths

	Very pleased for you :-) My discovery (as often is the case) has led to more questions and searches :-)

	Brought forward for those researching their Irish ancestral family.

	not working well for me at the mo, is that cos we're all trying to get on at once?!
Member Since: February 2007 Posts: 942 Send Message	Thistledown	Report	3 Jun 2010 19:02
	Afraid so Sarah, i think that it has crashed for a while with the volume of people trying to get on. I was browseing it last night but there were some rellies on 1911 that i could not find on 1901. Will have another look later hopefully though. Lily

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 6 Send Message	I've noticed a few blips on the spelling of place names, which somewhere in the FAQ's they say they'll get cleaned up but it makes it rather slow going when the entire town/village is spelt wrong eg Raboo instead of Raloo. On the plus side I've narrowed a couple of dates and found a few 'vanished' people.
