Summary:

Finally available, this is an indispensable index to the magnificent forty volume series that is the 1830-1840 Ordnance Survey Memoirs of Ireland. These books provide much information about what life was like in the northern counties of Ireland, such as Down, Armagh, Fermanagh, Derry, Antrim, and Donegal, in the first half of the nineteenth century. They make a wonderful Domesday book on life at parish level. They provide a unique view of the landscape, buildings, antiquities, employment, houses, food, dress, amusements, traditions, and way of life of the people. This information will be much more accessible now and will be crucial to genealogists seeking to learn more about their Irish relatives who lived in the North during this period. There are over 100,000 entries for people and places indicating the parish, county, volume, and page number of each reference.
