New National Archives Genealogy Website launched.

Hello,

You can now access the Census Records for 1901 and 1911, the Tithe Applotment Books from 1823 to 1837, and the Soldiers’ Wills from 1914 to 1917 at the new National Archives Genealogy Website-  this can be accessed at

All the records can be accessed freely. The Tithe Applotment Books were compiled between 1823 and 1837 in order to decide payments which occupiers of agricultural holdings over an acre owed to the Church of Ireland. The Soldiers' Wills are a collection of wills of Irish soldiers who died while serving in the British Army.

A number of otehr records will be added over the coming years. These include:

• Calendars of Wills and Administrations, 1858 – 1922;
• Nineteenth century census survivals, 1821-51;
• Valuation Office House and Field Books, 1848 – 60;
• Census Search Forms for the 1841 and 1851 censuses.
