1831 Census
The first full government census of Ireland was taken in 1821 with further censuses at ten-yearly intervals from 1831 through to 1911. No census was
taken in 1921 because of the War of Independence. The original census returns for 1861 and 1871 were destroyed shortly after the censuses were
taken. Those for 1881 and 1891 were pulped during the First World War, probably because of the paper shortage. The returns for 1821, 1831, 1841 and
1851 were, apart from a few survivals, destroyed in 1922 in the fire at the Public Record Office at the beginning of the Civil War.
Fortunately the 1831 records for the Parish of Upper Cumber still exist and show a number of Nutt families living there, including two Andrew Nutts.
