Hope you can read this. I have been researching in Sligo recently. Here is a quick search on surname Swords in Sligo in 1901.



The 1901 census has been indexed for free by the following: http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com



So all credit to them for the work that they have put into creating the index.

Sorry, the data has not retained the format I was expecting.



Just go to the website in the link and search for yourself. It's free.



Cheers
