The aim of this study was to verify the hypothesis the Irish family had changed from the type of nuclear family to stem family between 19th century and 20th century. I use the data of Census Returns of 1821, 1841, 1851, 1901 and 1911 that is owned by National Archive in Dublin. I examined the prior works of F.J. Carney, K. O'Neill and V. Morgan & W. MaCafee and got some important knowledge from their works. I have analyzed the size of household, the structure of family, the age of the household head, the age of the children and the inheritance system. As the result of above analyzing we have the following conclusion. The type of simple family households with the partible inheritance system was dominated in the early 19th century, but after 1835 the type of household changed to extended family households and multiple family households with establishing the system of dowry and matchmaking and the impartible inheritance system after the Irish Famine.
