  • 1951 Census Down County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch, 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7* 6d NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Government of Northern Irel&nd was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of more limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid-night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious pro­ fession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.

  • The Registry Books Are Approximately
    THETHE REGISTRYREGISTRY BOOKSBOOKS Page 2 Clifton Street Cemetery One of the most historically interesting facets of any burying ground are, without doubt, its registry books. Although the New Burying Ground was opened in 1797, it was not until 1831 that the Belfast Charitable Society began to keep a registry of all interments. It is unknown why they did not keep a registry from the beginning, but one reason may be that they were more interested in making money to finance the poor-house through the selling of the graves, than to worry about recording who was being buried in them. However at a meeting held in the poor-house on the 18th of December 1830 it was: Resolved -that a registry of all the interments in the Burying Ground of the Charitable Society be kept from the commencement of the next year, and that the Rev. Messrs Macartney and Hicks be requested to have a suitable book prepared for the purpose. The first burial recorded was on the 4th of January, 1831. However, the exact number of people buried in the burying ground before that will never be known. At a rough estimate it could be guessed that around 3,600 burials could have taken place before 1831. That is if up to 100 people had been buried per year, which was below the average amount of burials taking place throughout the 1830s. The figures shown in the three volumes of the registry books are approximately: Volume 1 1831-1841, 2,640 Volume 2 1841-1864, 5,489 Volume 3 1865-1984, 3,109 Add on the pre-1831 figures and the number of those buried in the New Burying Ground could be as high as 14,000.
