When Ireland's civil registration system was first set up in the 1840s, its island-wide network of local district offices were known as Superintendent Registrar's Districts (SRDs), sometimes referred to as "Civil Registration Districts". They had identical boundaries to Poor Law Unions (PLUs), and each was centered on a market town. These were further subdivided into Dispensary Districts (so called because they also had medical functions), later referred to as "Registrar's Districts", to handle registration needs in outlying areas of each SRD.
We categorise these on WikiTree as Xyz District, County Zxy rather than as two distinct categories, one for registration districts and one for poor law unions.
There is a page for each County, the links for which are below on the left-hand side. Any categories for Superintendent Registrar's Districts will be linked on the SRD name in the right-hand column:
