Two new Irish Web databases at Ancestry

They're new to Ancestry as of October 8 and listed as:

Web: Dublin, Ireland, Wilson's Directory, 1820 (7,721 records)
Web: Ireland, Wills of Irish Soldiers Who Died in the British Army, 1897-1922 (9, 360 records)

As Ancestry cautions about all its Web databases "All data in this third-party database was obtained from the source’s website. Ancestry.com does not support or make corrections or changes to the original database."

With these two additions Ancestry now claims 183 Irish titles although you might well ask why some of these rate as specifically Irish. For example:

JewishGen Yizkor Book Master Name Index
UK, RMS Titanic, Outward Passenger List, 1912
Chronicles of the N.Z.E.F., 1916-1919
New Zealand Army WWI Casualty Lists, 1914-1919 New Zealand Army WWI Roll of Honour, 1914-1919

While there are likely people with Irish connections given the extent of the Irish diaspora the same could be said of almost any Canadian or US census.
