  • 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.

  • Annalong Remembers the Great War 1914 - 1918 What Caused ‘The Great War’ 1914 - 1918? There Were Many Factors Which Led to the Outbreak of the ‘Great War’ in Europe
    Annalong Remembers The Great War 1914 - 1918 What caused ‘The Great War’ 1914 - 1918? There were many factors which led to the outbreak of the ‘Great War’ in Europe. Many of these contributory causes were rooted in the long history of the established powers in Europe at that time - Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Austria-Hungary and Britain. Political wrangles, secret alliances, imperialism and nationalistic pride combined to make early twentieth-century Europe a dangerous powder keg waiting to explode. Alliances In the years preceding the outbreak of war, the European nations were continually manoeuvring and making alliances in order to protect or advance their own interests. In 1881, Germany made an alliance with Austria-Hungary and Italy which guaranteed that all three parties would help each other if attacked by France. However, behind the scenes, Italy had made a secret side deal with France saying they would not help the Germans. In 1904, Britain and France signed a pact and then in 1907 Britain, France and Russia committed themselves to a three-way agreement known as the ‘Triple Entente’. Germany saw this latest agreement as a real threat to its power and position. Imperialism For centuries, European powers like the British, French and Dutch had been successfully building empires around the world which had created much wealth through trade, natural assets and in many cases, slavery. Other countries like Germany and Russia were envious of the imperial success of their neighbours and began to plan the creation of their own empires. Tensions grew throughout Europe and as distrust and dislike dominated political affairs - many recognised that conflict was inevitable.
