1901 Census for copplecurragh seems to be missing

Question

I've tried searching for the 1901 Census for Copplecurragh on Ancestry, Findmypast, FamilySearch and Census.Nationalarchives.ie but I cannot seem to find the entry, the 1911 Census is there.

Could it be named something else?

Ellen Griffin was living there in 1911 with her husband Patt, I have been unable to find a 1901 Census for them either, or for any of their children except Bridget who was living with her Grandparents.

Am I overlooking something or am I just blind.

Any help would be apreciated

Answer 1

As Bridget was living with grandparents, were the parents in different county etc, trying to earn a living? Does either appear on electoral rolls, or as servant, labourer in someone else’s census record?

Comments

I've tried searching for by name and age for both Ellen and Patrick as well as Patricks father John on the 1901 Census in all counties and cannot find anything to tie in.

When searching by place Copplecurragh in 1911 is shows up on the census, however, It doesn't appear at all in 1901, so I'm wondering if this section is missing or have I just overlooked something.

I haven’t read thru this but it has history which might give you clues
