We have put together a list of all of the Workhouses in existance in Ireland during the 19th and early part of the 20th Century, together with details of who you should contact for further information as to the whereabouts of Original Workhouse Registers. Please note that the contacts we have listed below are Public Libraries and Repositories that do not, as far as we are aware, charge Fees for their Advice and Assistance. We have deliberately omitted Professional Genealogical Companies who provide Fee based research - however details are available on request.
