Title: Register of Voters Taken From Local Sources
Date: 1839-1880
Description:
This database is a comprehensive historical resource documenting voters in the Irish counties of Antrim, Armagh, Cavan, Down, Dublin, Londonderry, Monaghan and Waterford between the years 1697 and 1876. Compiled from a combination of electoral rolls and local newspaper sources, it provides a detailed account of individuals who were eligible to vote during this period.
The database is designed to support genealogical research, local history studies, and broader investigations into 19th-century Irish society and landholding. It offers a valuable window into electoral and property-holding patterns in pre- and post-Famine Ireland.
This release represents the first phase of an ongoing project. Future updates will expand coverage to include additional counties, further enriching this vital historical record.
