 Irland, Liste für Lord Viscount Morpeth, 1841

Als George Howard (Lord Viscount Morpeth) seinen Posten als Staatssekretär für Irland verließ, erhielt er ein bemerkenswertes Abschiedsgeschenk: eine 350 m lange Pergamentrolle mit den Namen und manchmal den Adressen für etwa 300.000 irische Staatsbürger. Die auf der Liste aufgeführten Männer kamen aus ganz Irland und aus allen Gesellschaftsschichten.

When George Howard (Lord Viscount Morpeth) left his post as Chief Secretary for Ireland, he was presented with a remarkable parting gift for an Englishman: a 420-meter roll of parchment signed by close to 160,000 people. The signers came from all over Ireland and from all levels of society, and some included their address or residence.

The 1841 date of the roll is particularly significant because it predates the beginning of the Great Famine in 1845 and because most 19th-century Irish census records have been destroyed.
