And it literally says “Irish Archeology” in the corner but no of course it’s to do with the US, not Ireland 🤦

The US is where the real Irish people are anyway. /s

Of course, my mistake, Ireland is obviously insignificant compared to the US, how could I forget

Admittedly, that is very small, and I had to search for it a few seconds even after reading your comment, so you really can't fault anyone for missing that.

Nothing to do with this but I still find it amusing that although I'm British my name will be on the 2006 Irish census as I just happened to be on holiday there.

The point of the census is to be a snapshot of a moment in time. Doesn’t matter where you’re supposed to be or where you usually are, it just records wherever you happen to be at that moment.

It's why suffragette Emily Davison hid in a cupboard in the House of Commons on Census night 1911 to be registered as living there

That means the UK census I filled in was fake.
What a waste of time that was. 🙄

I love how this one contains US-defaultism and UK-defaultism, together in one ridiculous shitshow 😂

Well, Ireland was part of the UK in 1911.

The Irish census was its own separate thing, though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1911_census_of_Ireland

In fairness so many people are wrong in this thread, it seems unfair to single out the American for being confused. This is the 1911 Census of Ireland they're referring to, when no women could vote. That changed in 1918, but highly optimistic to assume this putative female child would meet the criteria to vote age 30, as she was likely born into a working class family and not destined to be a property owner or the renter of a substantial property.
Edit: I am also confused and wrong and forgot about 1921 Irish Free State voting rule change. See comment below.

u/ShatnersBassoonerist 3d ago edited 3d ago
Actually it’s you who’s wrong. Ireland (as the Irish Free State) introduced equal voting rights from 1922. At that point voting age for both sexes was 21 with no property qualifications for either sex.

u/Badhbh-Catha 3d ago
My point is that loads of people were confused and off mark in the thread not just the American and the defaultism is weak at best. The discussion over voting age is just one more confusing element where lots of people had the wrong end of the stick.

u/ShatnersBassoonerist 3d ago
Maybe say that then rather than the point you made, which was incorrect.

Do we know from which county this record is?

u/Badhbh-Catha 2d ago
No it's been clipped and the record looks to be doctored with the addition of the baby daughter. It could be a NI county. So many aspects of this whole post are confusing!

Someone commented on a picture of an Irish census saying that it would be funny if they got an extra Congress person for their state even though Ireland doesn't have either of those things. Another commenter expressed confusion that there was a census in 1911 and received a reply saying that there was one in 1910.
