The
following has been transcribed from 'A Census of Ireland,
c. 1659, with Supplementary Material from the Poll Money
Ordinances (1660-1661)' edited by Séamus Pender,
and published by the Stationery Office, Dublin in 1939.
Parishes and placenames as found in the 1851 'General
Alphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes
and Baronies of Ireland' , originally published in Dublin
in 1861, and re-printed by the Genealogical Publishing
Company Inc., 1997, have been added in brackets beside
the placenames as spelled in 'A Census of Ireland - when
identifiable.
According
to Pender, W. H. Hardinge, M.R.I.A., announced his discovery
of what has since been known as the Census of Ireland,
(1659), in a paper read before the Royal Irish Academy
in 1864.
The
term 'Titulado', which appears through these returns,
refers to the principal person or persons of standing
in any locality ; such a person could have been of either
sex, a nobleman, baronet, gentleman, esquire, military
officer, or adventurer. A Titulado may have been a land-owner,
but did not necessarily own land.
This
census, does not give the names of individuals in any
townland - other than those of the titullado or titulladoes.
For each parish, we are given the surnames of the Irish
people who lived in that parish, and the number of times
that each surname occurs. We are given the total number
of people who lived in any townland, and how many of them
were Irish or English. The placename spellings for the
most part differ to those of 1851, and in some cases,
it may be that the barony boundaries changed post 1659,
so that while a townland is found listed in the Townlands
directory of 1851, the barony that it is listed under
differs from that of 1659. The same seems to occur at
the parish level.
