This is a link to Dorothy Macardle and Rosamond Jacob’s form. I haven’t been able to locate Mary MacSwiney or any of her family and presumed the has not engaged with the census - as a republican message. Can you post the link to MacSwiney

I think this is my favourite so far. Alice Knox in Blackrock, Co. Dublin who is very glad to be single. #1926census

My great-grandmother wrote 'Out of Work' for her adult daughter (aged 17) but census enumerator changed it to 'Home Duties'. Women can't be unemployed!

A massive thank you to a brilliant friend Cónal Creedon for today’s lunch time talk in Cork City Libraries

Sincerest thanks to Tony Fitzgerald, deputising as Lord Mayor and all in Cork City Libraries & Cork City Council
