RootsIreland.ie adds Derry householders from 1930

RootsIreland.ie has added more than 9,000 records transcribed from the 1930 Derry Almanac and Directory. This publication lists heads of household in Derry City and search results provide full name, house number and street and page number.

Given the gap in currently available census returns for Northern Ireland, which stretches from the all-island 1911 census to the pre-war 1939 National Register, this record set will be very useful for those researchers with family from the City in the early 1900s.

You'll need to subscribe to search these records. Go to the RootsIreland's Derry database and select ‘1930 Derry Almanac and Directory’ from the ‘Source’ drop down list.
