Irish Census Records

Tonight I found two Irish Census Records for my Great Great Uncle John Gow and his family. I've never had any luck with Irish records because I find them utterly confusing. That and the names I'm looking for are quite common, so I was very happy to stumble across these tonight.

1901 Census Record for John Gow, wife Annie & children Betsy, William & Alexander.

    Nice find!

    I feel like there should be a support group for Irish decendants trying to trace their ancestry. EVERYONE IS NAMED THE SAME THING!!!

      It's as bad in Wales if not worse... you can't even be sure they share a surname with their father...
