Who would you have supported in the Easter Rising?

The data only exists for 1911-1926 - a much longer period which included WWI.

Well, I have seen numbers for 1919-23 (or 1918-1923 can't remember) ...

Please cite.

Can't really, it is a long time ago (maybe 5-6 years) since I read about the subject. I remember content, but rarely the exact source of info.

What about potential non-census sources? Do they exist?

Anyway, I'm saddened that the 'normal' position is supporting a vanguard and ragtag group of self-declared rebels who claimed act for 'the people' (and even 'the dead generations') whose democratic credentials c.1916 were precisely nil and their right to blow up buildings and kill self-defined enemies (including some of that said 'people' in whose name they were supposed to be acting) for the cause. Whatever that was.

Unfortunately for a primary source perspective I don't actually know, church records would not be the most reliable here (they don't keep records of parishoners but only of sacraments kept, burials, etc). All my information comes from (the massive) secondary literature on the subject. A possible major source would be land sales and deeds - Protestant depopulation after all was mainly a rural thing in the period in question - but I wouldn't know the exact details here. Sorry, this really isn't my area.

On Protestant depopulation in the period 1911-1926 here is an interesting article on this subject from History Ireland.
