The Irish in the 1921 Census | Findmypast

Just in time for St Patrick's Day, Findmypast's Brian Donovan explores the Irish in the 1921 Census of England & Wales.

There were over 360,000 Irish-born people living in England and Wales in 1921, reflecting the ongoing migration out of Ireland in search of work and opportunity.

Their story is an important part of the 1921 Census returns for England and Wales. But there were also millions of descendants of those impoverished Irish famine migrants that had settled in Britain in the 19th century and earlier. The lives and travails of their descendants are richly documented in this exciting new source.
