There are a number of errors relating to place-names on the 1901\/1911 Census returns of Ireland, examples of the various types discovered during analysis are listed below. These should be kept in mind when searching the census by place-name. In addition it should be noted that some locations were not covered by the original microfilms and so not included in the online census returns. Further analysis is required on rural townland names, where some spelling variation is to be expected.<\/p>\n

In 1911 Aghowle DED, Co. Wicklow is listed as ‘Aghawlw<\/a>‘<\/p>\n
