The Irish Boundary Commission was set up to determine the boundary between the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland. It met for the first time on 6 November 1924.

Chairman of the Boundary Commission was Mr Justice Richard Feetham, a judge of the South African Supreme Court. Mr Justice Richard Feetham was assisted by two Commissioners, Eoin MacNeill, the Irish Free State representative, and Joseph Fisher, the representative of Northern Ireland, appointed by the British government.The Commission was to take evidence and make recommendations on whether the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State should be altered.

Completed in November 1925, the final report of the Commission was never published, after disagreements about its recommendations, it led to the resignation of the Irish Commissioner. As a result, no alterations were made to the border.

• Begin your search broadly with just a name.

• Entries use titles as opposed to first names. For example, if your search is unsuccessful for William Smith, try Mr Smith or Lord Smith. Alternatively, if your search is unsuccessful for Mary Smith and she was married to John Smith, try Mrs John Smith or alternatively Mrs Smith.

• If needed, you can narrow your results by including additional search criteria such as a year, location name or county.
