Looking for any information on the Arthur P Hunt (1778-1864) and Mary Lane family from Drumcannon Parish. Any information is welcome. I have seen that the parish census records may have survived the 1922 PROI fire. Any searchable census records available for 1821, 1831, or 1841?
Kris:
There are no surviving 1821, 1831, 1841 census records for Co. Waterford. Some records for Waterford are available for 1851 but none in Drumcannon parish. www.census.nationalarchives.ie ;
I looked at the 1850 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Drumcannon parish.There were a number of Hunt entries including two Arthur P. Hunt Esq. entries.
I located an 1865 civil death index record for an Arthur Powel Hunt.Possibly this is your ancestor.

Yes, that's him. Thank you. I have seen those 2 entries. I also saw one for his will, but the only info on that was the name of it's executor. No info about his family that I can find. I'm specifically trying to tie him to William John Hunt (1816-1863) who I believe to be his son, and who died near London, Ontario.

I assume your family was Church of Ireland. Maybe you can contact the church to see what records they have. I did not find anything on Roots Ireland.
