This will lead you to Matsuyo Hanakawa, a 22 year old woman from Nagasaki Japan who was living in Malahide. Perhaps the only Buddhist in the Census - but maybe others have found more?

The Search function does not let you search by Birthplace but you can loosely target searches to find immigrants in the Census.

You do not need to search by whole surnames. For example, using common suffixes you can make interesting discoveries.

E.g. -kawa, one of the most common Japanese suffixes

I have GONE WILD on the 1926 Irish census and have made some fun discoveries:

Trinidadian medical students, a Baháʼí couple in Donegal, the Irish widow of an emigré Cossack, and Egyptian sailors in Cork city - among many others.

The Raven from Treehouse of Horrors is a classic.

My favourite episode is Lisa having a crush on her substitute teacher, Mr Bergstrom. The episode where she becomes Little Miss Springfield is brilliant too.

Very funny that Mr Beast's name is Jimmy Donaldson. The biggest Gen Z star on the planet, the most successful YouTuber of all time, and he has the name of a 55yo loyalist councillor who's made the news for trying to ban yoga in Lurgan and calling left handed children satanic.

I’m reminded of when he first joined city. A lot of pundits were saying “Oh, he’s a machine!” I kept thinking of my friend’s son, when it was posed to him by someone that “God” made him, he replied “No, my mum made me and she says she had the stretch marks to prove it”. 😊 Big up Erling’s mum!

The thing to remember about young Erling is that he’s his father’s ultimate revenge on ManU, and that’s hilarious. He’s also born in Leeds.

I've found that men will always make room for other men. A woman, to them, is an inconvenience, a hindrance, an annoyance, a spoilsport.

I was at their last show in Vicar St. Thought they were mad doing DCC, thinking they'd never fill it. Happy to be wrong. Good fun.

Big up me and the other history nerds who went wild (!) and spent Saturday night at the Conference Centre for The Rest Is History podcast show about Titanic. Sometimes, we stay up past our bedtimes too.

Tower Records at Easons O'Connell Street Dublin had the Bowie, Jeff Buckley and Pixies vinyl mentioned around 10 a.m. today. All mad expensive. Saw the Pixies in HOB Atlantic City do a warm-up show for the Newport Show.

Motorola. 088. Bomb scare at Tolka Park, mid to late 90s. Was at that match and rang her using it, walking away from the ground. "I'm alive, okay? There's a bomb scare, but I'm alright ... no, I'm not coming home. There's a second half to be played..."
