Thank you. I've just had my family's page forwarded from my cousin in Kilkenny. Fascinating.

I’ve already been on!

It’s free which is always a bonus.

Thank for this information, I do my family tree, and grand parents on both side were born in Ireland, and it's very hard to get information, I'll definitely look into this..

Anyone with Irish ancestry may be interested in the 1926 census which has just been released. It's completely free, and you can search the records in different ways. Most interesting, I think, is the link to the scanned original documents.
I knew my grandmother was about 10 years older than grandfather, but she always tried to hide her real age. On census form she's listed as 43, but looking closely it was overwritten and 53 was underneath!
