1. Introduction

Civil registration of births, marriages and deaths commenced in Ireland in 1864, though registration of marriages of non‐Roman Catholics was introduced earlier in 1845. The Births, marriages and deaths were registered by geographical areas known as Registration Districts (also known as Superintendent Registrar’s Districts). The boundaries of the registration districts followed the boundaries of the Poor Law Unions created earlier under the 1838 Poor Law Act for the administration of relief to the poor. Each Poor Law Union (PLU) was divided into Dispensary Districts, and again these boundaries were followed to form the sub‐districts or Registrar’s Districts into which the registration district was subdivided. The PLUs did not follow county boundaries and so registration districts and sub‐districts can lie in two or even three counties. Nor do they respect the boundaries of civil parishes.

This finding aid is intended to assist research in the civil registration records particularly in the nineteenth century. The detailed listings of registration districts and sub‐districts and the counties in which they lie are for 1871, and hence capture the early period of civil registration. There were some changes to boundaries over the years, as some of the original PLUs were subdivided to form additional PLUs, and later some were abolished as a result of dwindling populations. An attempt has been made to list significant boundary changes that took place between 1841 and 1911.

Appendix. Irish Poor Law Union (PLU) boundary changes across counties between 1841 and 1911

Various changes to Registration District (Poor Law Union) boundaries across counties took place over the years. Those boundary changes between 1841 and 1911 which affected which counties a Registration District lay in are summarised in the table below.

The Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 was a particularly significant act of reform: the boundary changes enacted therein were put into effect by an order of the Local Government Board for Ireland dated November 1st 1898.
