PREFACE.

This volume has been prepared in accordance vvith the provisions of Section 6 (1) of the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1936, from the census returns made as at JJ?-idnight of the 28th February-1st March, 1937. The statistics contained herein supersede those contained in the Preliminary Report published in July, 1937, and may be regarded as final. The census which was taken in 1937 was a special one in the sense that it was limited .in .scope and was taken during the interval between normal census years, thus bndg1ng the gap between the 1926 census and the next full census. Certain ques~ions usually found on census schedules, such as those regarding occupation and Industry, were not asked, but a ne\v question as to usual residence \Vas in­ cluded for the first time.

The 1937 census publications \Vill consist of :- 1. SEVEN CouNTY VoLUMES, each similar in design and scope. The smallest area for which statistics are given in the county volumes is the district electoral division, but statistics in respect of , similar to those given in table 4, have been prepared in the Census Office and are available for reference upon application to the Registrar General. 2. GENERAL REPORT for the whole country, covering in more detail the statistics shown in the county volumes, and, in addition, containing tables on fertility. 3. SuPPLEMENT TO 1926 ToPOGRAPHICAL INDEX. This supplement \vill be designed for use in conjunction vvith the 1926 topographical index in order to facilitate reference to the statistics given in the 1937 census reports. It will cover the topographical changes during the intercensal period. The net prices for the 1937 census publications will be 2s. 6d. for each county volume, 5s. Od. for the general report and 1s. Od. for the topographical index supplement. The volume for Belfast County Borough has already been published and the remaining county volumes will be published at intervals as completed during the next six months, followed by the other two volumes as soon as possible after that period. These publications will be obtainable directly from the Superintendent, H.M. Stationery Office, 80 Chichester Street, Belfast, or through any bookseller. The 1926 census publications are similar in arrangement to the 1937 series (see advertisement on back of cover), but they incorporate additional tables on occupations, industries, education, orphanhood, dependent children, infirmities, and nationality. In addition the 1926 county volumes contain population and housing figures for each and village. The Registrar General is empowered by Section 6 (2) of the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1936, to prepare and supply from the census returns statistics other than those published in the census reports at the request and cost of any local authority or person. Any special demands for statistics more detailed than those published (either as regards subject matter or area) can thus, as far as office records permit, be satisfied. Requests for special compilation of census statistics should be addressed to the Registrar Generat who vvill be pleased to advise and furnish an estimate of cost.

EXPLANATORY NOTES AND DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THIS VOLUME. AREA. The acreages given are as measured by the Ordnance Survey of 1920-1922 (foreshore being excluded), and relate to the several administrative areas as con­ stituted at the date of the 1937 census. The acreage covered by the larger rivers, lakes, and tideways is not included in the body of Tables 4, 6 and 7, but is given in footnotes thereto. - POPULATION. The population comprises all persons, including Forces of , enumerated as at midnight of Sunday, 28th February-1st March, 1937. The population assigned to each area comprises· all persons who were actually present within it, whether as residents or visitors, persons on board ship in port being included in the area adjacent to the port. In general these definitions apply to the population figures for previous census enumerations which have been included in some of the tables.

·· ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS. The County is divided into sixteen county districts (nine urban and seven rural) comprising 141 district electoral divisions, eighteen of which are coterminous with entire urban districts orwards thereof (see table 4). The district electoral division forms the unit for the purpose of poor law elections. Eight poor law unions are contained within the County-five wholly and three partly ; the remaining portions of the divided unions being situated in County, County, and Belfast County Borough. The medical dispensary districts situated in the County number thirty-eight (see table 6). Poor law unions and medical dispensary districts are, respectively, superintendent registrars' and registrars' districts for the registration of marriages, births, and deaths. There are seven parliamentary constituencies for elections to the Northern Ireland Parliament, and one for elections to the United I{ingdom Parliament (see table 12). The County Council forms an education authority for the County, and its powers and duties are exercised through five regional education committees, whose areas each comprise one or more urban or rural districts (see page xii). The County .is also divided into twenty-three county electoral divisions, which are the units for the purpose of county council elections (see table 7). The changes made in the constitution or boundaries of administrative divisions of the County during the last intercensal period are as follows :- (a) Whitehead, formerly a town under the Towns Improvement (Ireland) Act, 1854, and forming part of the Lame Rural District, was made an urban district (1st April, 1927) ; (b) A portion of Rural District was transferred to Larne Urban District (25th November, 1930) ; and consequential changes were made to the district electoral divisions and county electoral divisions affected ; (c) The creation by the House of Commons (Method of Voting and Redistribu­ tion of Seats) Act (Northern Ireland), 1929, of seven parliamentary con­ stituencies for the purpose of elections to the Parliament of Northern Ireland. HOUSES. 1. The tern1 '' House '' denotes (a) each .structure containing; dwelling accommodation (except institutions) wh1ch stands alone or IS separated fron1 another by a vertical parting wall; vii

(b) each institution (viz., hospital, sanatorium, nursing home, infirmary, vvorkhouse, asylum, religious or charitable community, residential school, barracks, or other premises under Naval, Military, Air Force, or Police discipline, prison or other place of detention), regardless of the number of buildings within its precincts; ' (c) each vessel, caravan, tent, or other movable d\velling. 2. The term " Private House " denotes all " Houses " other than institu­ tions, hotels, boarding houses, pren1ises occupied by caretakers, vessels, movable dwellings, and barns, stables, and out-houses occupied on census night. The term includes premises comprising a shop and dwelling, unless occupied by a caretaker. 3. The terms "Boarding House" and "Lodging House" cover habitations described as such and any private house containing three or more boarders or lodgers. 4. The term '' Inhabited '' denotes actual residence of a person or persons on census night. " Uninhabited " houses, therefore, include those temporarily vacant through the absence of the usual occupiers as well as those without tenants. Enumerators were instructed to- omit from their enumeration empty houses in such an advanced state of decay that there was little likelihood that they \~rould again be made fit for habitation. ROOMS. l. The roon1s enun1erated are the usual living rooms, including bedrooms and kitchens, but excluding sculleries (i.e. roon1s used only for washing, cleaning, or cooking), pantries, cloakrooms, landings, closets or bathrooms, or any ware­ house, office or shop rooms. 2. For the purpose of classifying families by rooms occupied (table 10), shared-room occupations-i.e., those in \vhich two or more families have rooms in common-have been rounded up to the next integral number of rooms. Thus, three families occupying It, 2!, and 2! rooms in a 6-roonied house would be shown as occupying 2, 3, ·and 3 rooms respectively. The extent of the rounding­ up process may be ascertained in a general way by reference to table 9, in which the actual number of rooms is given. Generally, in cases of 1 room occupations, all persons living therein, whether related or not, have been enumerated as one census family. FAMILIES. The term " Family " denotes

(a) The inhabitants of each institution (see 1 (b) of tc Houses " definition), hotel, boarding-house, lodging-house, or ship; (b) Each person or group of persons occupying separately the whole, or part of, any dwelling other than as described at (a). . " Private Family " means ·a family en11:meratt:;d in a " Private House " (see 2 of " Houses " definition). It should be specially noted that a family or private family for census purposes includes any group of persons, whether related or not, who live together in separate house or room accommodation.

RATEABLE VALUATION. The figures shown are those for service of the year ended 31st March, 1937, and have been supplied by the Commissioner of Valuation. Rateable Heredita­ ments include lands, buildings, tolls, rail,;vays, tramways, canals, fisheries, tur­ . baries, mines, quarries, watenvorks, telegraphs, telephones and electricity, gas and water mains. Subject to the provisions ofthe Local Government (Rating and Finance) Act (Northern Ireland), 1929, agricultural land and agricultural buildings are com­ pletely derated and industrial hereditaments and freight-transport hereditaments are partially derated, the consequent deficiency in the yield of rates being made . good by contributions from the Government. viii

The figures in tables 4, 6 and 7 are the totals. of the ·valuations of the .rateable hereditaments in the various areas before reduction on account of derating, but exclude in certain cases the valuations of electricity, gas and water mains, telegraphs, telephones, fisheries, wat~r"''?rks .and tram·ways. The total of· such excluded valuations for the County IS g1ven 1n a footnote to the tables. The total foT the County of rateable valuations after reduction on account of derating is given on page x. USUAL RESIDENCE. The persons who have been regarded as having their usual residence in the area of enumeration (i.e. urban district or rural district), include:- (1) Those enumerated in their own houses. (2) Persons having settled residence in private lodgings. (3) Resident domestic servants. (4) Scholars, students, etc., living during term time in residential schools, etc. (5) Inmates of institutions when the nature of the instit11tion suggested per- manent residence. (6) Crews of vessels if usually living on shipboard .. (7) Persons whose usual residence, although not in the building in ·which enumerated, is still within the area of enumeration. All other persons have been treated as usually resident in urban or rural areas other than the area of enumeration, or in countries outside Northern Ireland, .as stated on the census schedule. BIRTHPLACES. Persons \Vhose birthplaces were not stated on the census schedule were assumed to have be~n born in the county in which enumerated, except in cases of persons with foreign names, and persons stated to be visitors to the household. In these cases further inquiries were made. RELIGIONS. The classification of religions includes a separate heading for each religion, the adherents of which number 10 or more (see table 20). The heading" Presbyterian" includes those who call themselves by this name without qualification, together with those who describe themselves as members of the Church of . Other Presby­ terian denominations are shown at the foot of table 20. Members of the Church of and the Episcopal Church of Scotland have been included under the heading ''.'' The latter group includes all persons returned as ''Church'' or '' Episcopalian.'' NUM~ERING OF TABLES. Roman numerals are used in this volume for the tables in Part I and Arabic numerals for the tables in Part II.

CONVENTION AS TO DOTS (.) AND DASHES (-). Throughout this volume dots (.) are used in tabular matter to indicate "none," and dashes (-) are used to indicate that information cannot or is not intended to be given. · CORRECTION OF CENSUS DATA. Every effort has been 1nade to eliminate, as far as practicable, errors and inaccuracies from the census data. The process of correction began with the enumerators, who received full instructions as to the action to be taken in cases of error or omission, and it was continued by a system of check and further enquiry where necessary applied at each. stage of the office work. The process was com­ pleted by an intensive scrutiny, and inter-comparison of the tabulation sheets. This scrutiny and comparison revealed a certain number of incongruities, which, when material, were investigated and corrected in the light of the facts disclosed. In a few cases trifling errors were adjusted arbitrarily. ix

PART I. STATISTICAL NOTES.

NOTES.-(1) The definitio·rts, etc., contained in the preceding section apply equally to these notes and to the tables in Part II. (2) The descriptions of areas used in this volume relate to the con­ ditions which existed at the census date. In partiC'ltlar, the term has been employed in the tables, since the name Eire did not co1ne into operation for that area until the 29th December, 1937. AREA. The area of Antrim County, exclusive of the larger rivers, lakes and tide-ways, is 1,098 square miles or 21 per cent. of the area of Northern Ireland. In 1896 the County lost almost nine square miles to Belfast County Borough, but gained at later dates an aggregate of about half a square mile, partly from Down County and partly from Londonderry County (see note to table 2).

POPULATION. The total population enumerated in the County was 197,266, and has increased by nearly 3 per cent. since 1926. This is the first increase recorded since 1841. The increase of 5,623 in the population during the past eleven years is equivalent to an average annual increase of almost 0.3 per cent.

A portion of the County of Londonderry was transferred to the County of Antrim in 1915, consequent on the extension of Urban District. Owing to the fact that prior to 1899, certain registration units in Belfast Union extended over both the urban and rural portions thereof, it is not practicable to show figures in this table for periods prior to 1901. t Including the deaths of non-civilians of the County of Antrim which occurred outside N orthem Ireland.

Comparable figures of natural increase due to the excess of births over deaths, in respect ·of the County as now constituted, are not available for periods prior to 1901, but it is evident that in each of the intercensal periods from 1841 to 1901, as well as from 1901 to 1926, there was a net outward movement of such dimensions as not only to counterbalancethe natural increase, but to cause an actual decrease in population. During the past eleven years, however, the net outward movement was of smaller dimensions and only partially offset the increase which would other­ wise have resulted from the excess of births· over deaths. There is little doubt that . during the last century the net movement outwards has to sorne extent been due to movement into Belfast as well as to the extension of the County Borough boundary. X

* The :figures given relate to each area as constituted at the date of the 1937 Census. Urban and Rural Districts.-All urban districts, except Carrickfergus and Whitehead, show increases in population during the past eleven years, and all rural districts, except Belfast and , show decreases. In nearly all districts the increase or decrease is a continuation of the trend since 1901. The 1937 urban popula­ tion constitutes 28.1 per cent. of the whole, as compared with 26.2 per cent. in 1926, 23.2 per cent. in 1911, and 19.4 per cent. in 1901-the percentages quoted relating to urban areas as constituted at the date of each census. It is of interest to note that among the urban districts in which the greatest relative increases have occurred are the seaside resorts of Portrush, Larne and Ballycastle ; and that the two rural districts which show increases are adjacent to Belfast. The persons per acre rates vary in the urban districts between 29.5 in Carrick­ fergus and 2.2 in . In rural districts the rates vary between 0.7 and 0.1 persons per acre. Such rates, however, should be used with reserve in measuring the density of population in urban areas, since the acreages of these may include widely differing proportions of waste land, land under pasture, etc. Table 3 shows the extent to which each urban and rural district in the County has lost or gained by migration during the intercensal period. ··· Tables 4 provides more detailed information regarding urban and rural districts and their constituent district electoral divisions, including figures of rateable valuation. The rateable valuation of the County in 1937 was £1,097,994 before reduction on account of derating and £624,085 after reduction on account of derating. These xi figures compare with a rateable valuation of £774,881 in 1926, but it is to be noted that during the intercensal period a derating scheme was introduced and a general revaluation took place. Towns other than Urban Districts.-Table 5 deals with towns created under the Towns Improvement (Ireland) Act, 1854, and towns ·which may be defined as clusters of 50 or more houses with no legally defined boundaries. The total number of these two classes of to·wns is 44, and of these 6 have a population of 1,000 or over, and 10 have a population of 500 and less than 1,000. The total population of the 44 towns is 26,283. Unions and Dispensary Districts.-Detailed figures for these areas are given in table 6. County Electoral Divisions .-Detailed figures for these, together with the reference numbers of the district electoral divisions comprised in each, are given in table 7. Parliamentary Constituencies.-A complete record of the parliamentary constituencies of the County for elections to both the and Northern Ireland Parliaments is set out in table 12. The number of electors as shown therein is in accordance with the register which came into force on the 15th December, 1937. This register was compiled on the basis of the qualifying period of six months ending on 15th July, 1937, and therefore approximates in point of time to the census date. In general a person is entitled to be registered as a Northern Ireland parlia­ mentary elector if he or she is twenty-one or more years of age, and (a) has the requisite residence qualification of six months and (unless a native of Northern Ireland) has been resident in the United Kingdom for seven years prior to the qualifying date·; or (b) has occupied for six months prior to the qualifying date business premises of at least £10 valuation; or (c) is the wife or husband of a person entitled to be registered in respect of a business premises qualification. Graduates of full age form the electorate of the constituency of Queen's University, Belfast. The qualifications for voters at elections for the return of members to serve in the parliament at Westminster are identical with those set out above, except that the overriding provision as to residence in the United Kingdom does not apply. In considering the number of electors as shown on the register it should be noted that a person's name may appear on the register once only on a residence qualification, but any. number of times on a business premises qualification, pro­ vided the residence and business premises are all situated in different constituencies. Thus a person having a business premises vote in each of two constituencies for Northern Ireland elections would only have one business premises vote for United Kingdom elections if both business premises were situated in the same United King­ dom constituency.

Table IV shows the numbers of electors for the United Kingdom Parliament having residence qualifications only as a proportion of the total population aged twenty-one years and over as enumerated at the census. Education Areas.-The Antrim County Council is the education authority for the entire County, which is divided into :five regional education areas constituted as follows :- Regional Education Area. Contents. Antrim Ballyclare Urban District and Antrim Rural District. Antrim North Ballycastle, Ballymoney and Portrush Urban Districts, and Ballycastle and Bally­ money Rural Districts. Ballymena Ballymena.Urban and Rural-Districts. Larne and Carrickfergus Carrickfergus and Larne Urban Districts and Larne Rural District. Lis burn and Belfast Rural Lisburn Urban District and Belfast and Lisburn Rural Districts. The numbers of male and female children at each age in each of the regional education areas can readily be obtained from table 17.

HOUSING-BUILDINGS, ROOMS, FAMILIES, Etc. Houses.-The houses dealt with in tables V and VI include all buildings, including institutions, etc., which are normally used for dwelling purposes, and, since nearly 99 per cent. of these are houses containing private dwellings, the com­ parisons afforded by the tables can be regarded as being broadly applicable to housing of private census families.

* The figures given relate to the County as constituted at the date of each Census. For particulars of boundary changes see note at head of table 2 (page 1). ·· _

The intercensal increase of 5,6~78 houses is equivalent to an increase of nearly thirteen per c~nt., as compared with an increase in population over the eleven years of almost 3 per cent. The nur_nber of uninhabited houses has increased materially sine~ _1926, but, compared· Wlt? the numbers recorded at previous censuses, the 1937 figure is not abnormally htgh. . Persons per Inhabited House and Persons per Census Family .-As 1n1ght hav~ been ~xpected, the average number of persons per house, which has been steadily declimng from 1851, shows a further decrease from 1926 to 1937. xiii

The size of the census fan1ily, which shows a corresponding decline, no-vv does not much exceed four persons per family. As co1npared with the almost 3 per cent. increase in the population since 1926, the number of census families has increased by over 10 per cent.

Ratios for persons per house, persons per family, and persons per room in relation to inhabited private houses only can readily be calculated for each county district from tables 8 and 10. A comparison of these ratios for 1926 and 1937 in respect of the County is as follows:- 1926 1937 Persons per Inhabited Private House 4.49 4.14 Persons per Private Family 4.42 4.13 Persons per Room in Private Houses 0.99 0.90

Housing in Urban and Rural Districts.-Tables 4, 8, 9, and 10, contain detailed 1937 housing and accommodation figures for each urban and rural dis­ trict, and table VI shows the changes in the numbers of houses in each district during the past eleven years.

(a) The figures given relate to each CountyDistrict as constituted at the date of the 1937 Census.

All the county districts, except Ballymoney Rural District, show an increase in the total.number of houses, and of the approximately 5,700 additional houses, over 4,000 are in Larne and Lisburn Urban Districts and Belfast, Larne and Lisburn ·Rural Districts-all of which are districts adjacent to or within easy reach of Belfast.

Table VII has been prepared from tables 9 and 10, and shows broadly the distribution; by size, of private houses and the degree of subletting in the County. It also shows the distribution of private families according to the number of rooms occupied by them. Similar particulars in regard to each county district can readily be obtained from tables 9 and 10. xiv

For the County as a whole substantial increases are recorded in the proportion of 4 and 5 roomed houses and in the proportion of families in dwelling accommoda­ tion containing the same number of rooms. These increases are shared by all the county districts. The number of inhabited 1 to 3 roomed houses shows a marked decrease as compared with the number in 1926, particularly in rural districts. The proportion of private houses sublet in 1937 was 0.3 per cent., which rate is only one-quarter of the rate for 1926.

Overcrowding .-In order to determine the measure of accommodation essential if overcrowding is to be avoided, a knowledge of many factors such as size of family, number, ages, and sex of children, and number and size of rooms is necessary. Moreover, it is a matter of individual judgment as to what weight should be given to each factor. In dealing with the accommodation particulars recorded at the census, the size of the census family has been expressed by the number of persons, without regard to sex or age, and the rooms comprising the accommodation have been limited to the usual living rooms. The resulting rates of persons per room have been regarded as an approximate measure of density of room accommodation, and a rate of over 2 persons. per room has been assumed to indicate overcrowding.

Tables VIII and IX have been prepared from table 10. The first of these tables shows a marked general improvement in accommodation in the County as a whole, and table IX shows that all urban and rural districts, with the exception of Ballyclare and Ballymoney Urban Districts, share in this improvement·. The actual amount of overcrowding in the various districts is shown by the popula­ tion numbers and the relative degree of overcrowding is indicated by the density rates in the category of "over 2 persons per room."

Housing in Dispensary Districts.-Table 6 contains detailed housing and accommodation figures for dispensary districts, which show increases in the number of houses in 26 out of the 38 districts. The greatest relative increases are among the districts in Belfast, Larne, and Lisburn Unions.

INSTITUTIONS, Etc. The population in each of the types of inhabited buildings, etc., other than private houses is shown for each urban and rural district in table 11, together with the numbers of inmates of institutions. Table XI gives for the County these particulars in comparison with the corresponding 1926 figures. xvi

The total number of hotels and boarding houses in the County has decreased by 13 per cent., and their population by 29 per cent. Portrush Urban District, however, shows very material increases, and now contains approximately one half of the hotels and boarding houses in the County. Consequently, if Portrush is excluded from the County the decreases amount to 44 and 48 per cent. respectively.

USUAL RESIDENCE. The nevv enquiry at this census as to the "usual residence" of each individual irrespective of the address at which he or she was enumerated has disclosed that only 1.3 per cent. of the enumerated population of Antrim County was normally resident elsewhere than in the urban or rural district of enumeration, and nearly one quarter of these resided outside Northern Ireland. Detailed figures are contained in table 13. This table shows the effect of an adjustment of the enumerated population for usual residence as between the urban or rural district of enumeration and other such areas in Northern Ireland. While this adjustment is comparatively insignificant, it may be noted that it would probably have been larger if the census had been taken some months later. More­ over, the 1937 population figures adjusted for usual residence as at the end of February will provide better comparisons with population figures similarly adjusted at a future census (which may be taken at some other time of the year) than simple comparisons of populations as enumerated. In the absence of particulars of persons not enumerated in Northern Ireland, but usually resident in the County, it is not possible to make an adjustment for usual residence as between areas in the County and places outside Northern Ireland. If, however, a census enumeration were carried out on the same date throughout .the , it could be made to provide most of the particulars required to give effect to such an adjustment.

SEX, AGE, AND MARITAL CONDITION. Table 14 shows the population of the County by single ages and quinquennial age groups for each sex and marital condition, and for convenience of reference corresponding 1926 figures, limited to certain age groups, are shown in table XII.

If tables XIII and XIV, which have been prepared from tables XII and 14, are examined together, it will be seen that the small decrease in the number of single persons is due in part to the reduction in the number of children under fifteen years of age, and in part is due to the relatively high rate of increase in the number of married persons.

The tendency for the proportion of the population at .the older . ages to increase and the proportion at the young ages to decrease,. wh1ch was ev:dent in 1926, still continues, and the average age of the population hc:~.s accordingly risen from 30.0 years in 1911 to 30.6 ye~rs in 1926 a!ld 33.4 years ~n 1937. The tendency just referred to is illustrated 1n the following graph, which shows the trend of the population of the County a~ co?stituted at the d~te of each census since 1841, and the trend of the population 1n five age groups since 1871.

Table 16 shows the population of each urban and rural district by sex, marital condition and quinquennial groups of age. This table has been prepared on lines similar to those adopted in England and , and will facilitate the study of questions of fertility. It will be seen that the number of females exceeds the number of males in each urban district and in the rural districts of Belfast, Lis burn, and Larne. Table 17 shows for the County as a whole and also for each urban and rural district the population under age twenty-one by sex and individual ages. The numbers are also divided between Roman Catholic and other denominations. A similar division by religions is particularly evident among children at the school ages, during which there is almost complete separation between the two groups. This separation is one of a number of social differences between Roman Catholics and others, and these differences have a considerable statistical significance. For this reason, therefore, in this and certain of the following tables separate figures for Roman Catholics and others have been shown. xLx

This sug­ gested the possibility of a higher fertility rate among Roman Catholics,· and in order to pursue this question table XVI was prepared. The results disclosed by this table do not provide conclusive evidence on this question, but the table does show that, taken together, the county districts \vith the highest proportion of Roman Catholic population have a higher ratio of young children to married women than the remaining county districts.

BIRTHPLACES. Table 18 shows, by sex, the numbers of persons born in each of the counties of Northern Ireland, other countries in the British Isles, overseas dominions, colonies, etc., foreign countries, and at sea. Of the total population of Antrim County, 80 per cent. were born in the County, almost 7 per cent. in Belfast County · Borough, 7t per cent. in the other five counties of Northern Ireland, and 2i per cent. in the Irish Free State. Only 0.6 per cent. were born outside the British Isles, and nearly one half of these were born in British Dominions and Colonies. Persons born in foreign countries numbered 616, and 8 persons were born at sea. TABLE XVIII. Birthplace. Total Year of Northern Irish Free England Born at Bom Population Enumeration Ireland.

The only tendencies no\v discernible are for the pro­ portions born in Northern Ireland to fall, and the proportions born in other parts of the British Isles and abroad to rise. Table 19 deals with the numbers of persons in each county district born outside Northern Ireland and shows them under Roman Catholic and other denominations, by sex, and duration of residence in Northern Ireland. The irregularities in the run of the figures as between males and females in some cases are no doubt due to circumstances peculiar to particular districts. Districts with a high proportion of domestic servants, and those which include schools, institutions, etc., for example, might be expected to show some exceptional features.

Table XIX has been prepared from table 19 and shows under Roman Catholic and other denominations the numbers of persons who have come from other countries to reside in the County, and were still there on census day. It will be seen that for the shorter durations of residence the ratio of Roman Catholics to the total Roman Catholic population is higher than the corresponding ratio for persons of other denominations. The difference, however, is not such as to indicate that in recent years there has been any disproportionate influx of persons, either of Roman Catholic or other denominations, from other countries into· the County, unless any such influx has been offset by a corresponding movement outwards from the County.

RELIGIONS. Table 20 shows the population by sex and religion in four main groups for each urban and rural district, and by sex and under twenty-seven different descriptions for the County as a whole. The highest proportions of Roman Catholics are to be found in Ballycastle Urban and Rural Districts. xxii

For particulars of territoriai changes see note at head of Table 2 (page 1). t Including Church of England, and Episcopal Church of Scotland, numbering 1,518 and 4, respectively, in 1937. From table XX it will be seen that increased numbers have been recorded under each of the five main classifications used for the purpose of this table. The proportion of the total population has increased in each classification with .the exception of that of Presbyterians, which shows a decrease. From 1861 onwards there had been a fairly steady decrease in the percentages of Roman Catholics and Presbyterians, and a corresponding increase in the proportion of persons of other denominations.
