PREFACE.

This volume has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 (1) ?f ~he Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1~36, from the census returns made as at :0:1dn1ght 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 vvas a special one in the sense that it was limited _in _scope and was taken during the interval betvveen 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, \Vere not asked, but a question as to usual residence was in­ cluded for the first time. The 1937 census publications will consist of:- 1. SEVEN CouNTY VoLUMES, each similar in design and scope. The smallest area for which statistics are given in the county volu1nes 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 sho-wn in the county volumes, and, in addition, containing tables on fertility. 3. SUPPLEMENT TO 1926 TOPOGRAPHICAL INDEX. This supplement will be designed for use in conjunction with 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 Is. Od. for the topographical index supplement. The volumes for Belfast County Borough, , and County have already been published. The remaining county volumes will be published ~at intervals as completed, and the other two volumes as soon as possible thereafter. 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 . The Registrar General is empo·wered 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 reqpest 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 General, who will be pleased to advise and furnish an estimate of cost. · MINISTRY OF FINANCE, GENERAL REGISTER OFFICE, FERMANAGH HOUSE, 0RMEAU AVENUE, BELFAST.

The acreages given are as measured by the Ordnance Survey of 1919-1920 (foreshore, as \Veil as the areas of Carlingford and Laughs, being excluded), and relate to the several administrative areas as constituted 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 the Crown, enumerated as at 1nidnight 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 vvhich have been included in some of the tables. ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS. The County is divided into eighteen county districts (one municipal borough, nine urban districts and eight rural districts), comprising 146 district electoral divisions, twenty-t\vo of which are coterminous with wards of the municipal borough or urban districts, or entire urban districts where these areas are not divided into \vards (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-three wholly and five partly; the remaining portions of the divided unions being situated in Antrim and Armagh Counties and Belfast County Borough. The medical dispensary districts situat~d in the County number thirty-six (see table 6). Poor law unions . and medical dispensary districts are, respectively, superintendent registrars' and registrars' districts for tne registration of marriages, births and deaths. There are eight parliamentary constituencies for elections to the Northern Ireland Parliament, and one ·for elections to the Parliament (see table 12). The County is divided into twenty county electoral divisions, which are the units for the purpose of county council elections (see table 7). The County forms a single regional education area under the authority of the County Council. The changes made in the constitution or boundaries of administrative divisions of the County during the last intercensal period are as follows:- (a) Urban District was made a Municipal Borough (23rd January, 1928) ; (b) The North and South Wards of Urban District were reconstituted (17th April, 1928), and consequential changes were made to the district electoral divisions affected ; (c) A minor adjustment, involving roadway only, was made in the boundary between Urban District and Newry No. l Rural District (1st April, 1930) ; (d) was made a town under the Towns Improvement (Ireland) Act, 1854 (1st August, 1934) ; (e) The creation by the House of Commons (Method of Voting and Redistribu~ tion of Seats) Act (Northern Ireland), 1929, of eight parliamentary con­ stituencies for the purpose of elections to the Parliament of Northern Ireland. · HOUSES. 1. The term '' House '' denotes (a) each _structure containin&" dwelling accommodation (except institutions) whrch stands alone or 1s separated from another by a vertical parting wall; vii

(b) each institution (viz., hospital, sanatorium, nursing home, infirmary, workhouse, 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 any " House " other than an institu­ tion, hotel, boarding house, premises occupied by caretaker, vessel, movable dwelling, or barn, stable, or out-house 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 any habitation 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 \Vithout 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 would again be made fit for habitation. ROOMS. L The rooms enumerated are the usual living rooms, including bedrooms and kitchens, but excluding sculleries (i.e. rooms 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 which 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 2t rooms in a 6-roomed 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 refer.ence to table 9, in which the actual number of rooms is given. In cases of l 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 " 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 enumerated 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 fo..r service of the year ended 31st March, 1937 and have been supplied by the Commissioner of Valuation. Rateable ~eredita­ ments include lands, buildings, tolls, railways, tramways, canals, fishenes, tur­ . baries, mines, quarries, waterworks, telegraphs, telephones, and electricity, gas, and water mains. Subject to the provisions of the Local Governme:r:-t (Rating 3:n~ Finance) Act (Northern Ireland), 1929, agricultural land and agricultural buildings are com­ pletely derated and industrial hereditame~ts an~ freight:transport here~itaments are partially derated, the consequent deficiency In the yield of rates be1ng 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 hereditan1ents 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, waterworks, and tramways. The total of such excluded valuations for the County is given in a footnote to the tables. The total for th~ County of rateable valuations after reduction on account of derating is given on page xi. USUAL RESIDENCE .. The persons who have been regarded as having their usual residence in the area of enumeration (i.e., municipal borough, 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 institution 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. In the case of a very small number of persons whose birthplaces were not stated on the census schedule they were assumed to have been born in the county in which enumerated, except when the person bore a foreign name, or was stated to be a visitor to the household. After further enquiry in the latter cases it was found possible to classify them under definite headings. 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." NUMBERING 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 made 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 definitions, etc., contairz,ed in the preceding section apply equally to these notes and to the tables in Pa·rt II.

(2) The descriptions of areas ~used in this vohtn~e relate to the cot~­ ditions which existed at the census date. In particular, the ter1n Irish Free State has been employed in the tables, since the na1ne Eire did 1zot con~ze into operatio·n for that area until the 29th December, 1937.

AREA. The area of Down County, exclusive of the larger rivers, lakes, and tide·ways, is 952 square miles or 18.2 per cent. of the area of Northern Ireland. In 1896 and 1899 the County lost an aggregate of almost five square miles to Belfast County Borough and Antrim County, but gained in the latter year over half a square mile from Armagh County (see note to table 2).

POPULATION. The total population enumerated in the County was 210,687. This is the highest number recorded since 1891, and represents an increase of 1,459, or 0.7 per cent., in the population during the past eleven years. (Figures for census years 1821 onwards are shown in table 2).

* 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 Down which occurred outside Northern 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 1911, there was a net outward movement of such dimensions as not only to counterbalance the natural increase, but to cause an actual decrease in population. Since 1911, however, the net outward movement was of smaller dimensions and only partially offset the increase which would otherwise have re­ sulted from the excess of births over deaths. There can be little doubt that during the last century the net movement outwards has to a considerable extent been due to movement into Belfast as well as to the extension of the County Borough boundary.

Municipal Borough, and Urban and Rural Districts.-All urban areas, with the exception of Donaghadee and Dromore, show increases in population

. during the past eleven years J and all rural areas, except Castlereagh and Hills­ borough, show decreases. In most cases the increase or decrease is a continuation of the trend since 1901. The 1937 urban population constitutes 29.7 per cent. of the whole as compared with 27.5 per cent. in1926, 22.9 per cent. in 1911, and 19.6 per cent. in 190l~the percentages quoted relating to urban areas as constituted at the date of each census. It ~s of interest to note that the greatest absolute increase in population was recorded in the Borough of Bangor ; and that the

greatest relative increase occurred in Castlereagh Rural District1 -vvhich adjoins Belfast. The greatest absolute and relative decreases occurred in the Rural Districts of Downpatrick and Moira, respectively. · The persons per acre rates vary in the urban areas between 22.2 in Newtown- and 1.9 in Newcastle. These rates, however, should be used \Vith reserve in measuring the density of population in urban areas, since the acreages of these areas may include widely differing proportions of waste land, land under pasture, etc. In rural districts the rates vary betvveen 0.7 and 0.2 persons per acre. Table 3 shows the extent to which each urban and rural area in the County has lost or gained by migration during the intercensal period. Nearly one half of the increase in the femalt? population of urban areas as a whole is due to· migration. xi

Tables 4 provides more detailed information regarding urban and rural areas and their constituent district electoral divisions, including figures of rateable valuation. The rateable valuation of the County in 1937 was £1,236,097 before reduction on account of derating, and £706,100 after reduction on account of derating. These figures compare with a rateable valuation of £893,941 in 1926, but it is to be noted that during the intercensal period, not only \Vas a derating scheme introduced, but a general revaluation took place. Towns and Villages other than Urban Districts.-Table 5 deals with towns created under the Towns Improvement (Ireland) Act, 1854, and towns or villages ·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 55, and of these, two have a population of over 2,000 each, six have a population of between 1,000 and 2,000 each, and fifteen have a population of between 500 and 1,000 each. The total population .of the 55 towns is 33,423. 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 United Kingdom 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 sho·ws the number 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 Area~-The Down County Council is the education authority for the entire County, which forms a single regional education area, and all figures given in this volume for the County therefore apply equally to the Down Regional Education Area. HOUSING-BUILDINGS, ROOMS, FAMILIES, Etc. Houses .-The houses dealt vvith in tables V and VI comprise all buildings, including institutions, etc., which are normally used for dv,relling 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 are for the County as constituted at the date of each Census. For particulars of territorial changes see note to table 2.

The intercensal increase of 6,320 houses is equivalent to an increase of a little over 12 per cent. as compared with an increase in population during the eleven years of less than I per cent.

The number of uninhabited houses has incre.ased materially since 1926, but, compared with the numbers recorded at the three preceding censuses, the 1937 figure is not abnormally high. ·

Persons per Inhabited House and Persons per Census Family.-As might have been expected, the average number of persons per house, which has been steadily declining from 1851, shows a further decrease from 1926 to 1937. The size of the census family, which shows a corresponding decline, is now just over four persons per family. As compared With an increase of less than 1 per cent. in the population since 1926, the number of census families has increased by nearly 8 per cep.t.

·· 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 4.27 3.97 Persons per Private Family .. 4.23 3.95 Persons per Room in Private Houses 0.95 0.87 xiii Housing in Municipal Borough, and Urban and Rural Districts.­ Tables 4, 8, 9, and 10 contain the detailed 1937 housing and accom1nodation figures for the 1nunicipal borough and for each urban and rural district, and table VI shows the changes in the numbers of houses in each district during the past eleven years.

(a) The figures given are for the County Districts as constituted at the date of the 1937 Census.

There have been increases in the total number of houses in all county districts with the exceptions of the Rural Districts of Banbridge, Moira and Newry No. l, where small decreases have been recorded. Generally, the increases are most marked in urban areas on the coast and in rural areas adjoining, or within easy reach of, Belfast, thus follo·wing the trend exhibited at the 1926 census. The gains in Castlereagh Rural District, Newcastle Urban District, and Bangor Municipal Borough-45.3 per cent., 38.1 per cent., and 37.1 per cent. respectively-are specially noteworthy.

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 in this volume and corresp~nding tables in the · Down County Report for the 1926 census. 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 in all districts shows a marked decrease as compared with the number in 1926. The proportion of private houses sublet in 1937 was 0.5 per cent., which rate is only slightly more than one-half 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 per?ons, 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 county districts share in this improvement. The actual amount of overcrowding i~ the various districts is s4own by the population 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 30 out of the 36 districts. The greatest relative increases are among the districts in Belfast, and Newtownards 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 area 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 39 per cent. and their population by 44 per cent. This decrease is no doubt, to some extent, due to the additional houses built since 1926, ~hich must have absorbed many people hitherto living in boarding houses as well as persons who previously occupied portions of houses. Half of the hotels and boarding houses in the County are located in urban areas on the coast, but it will be appreciated that in addition to the premises described in the census returns as hotels and boarding houses a considerable number of private houses in coastal districts are used for the accommodation of visitors during the summer season. USUAL RESIDENCE. The new 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 1.5 per cent. of the enumerated population of Down County was normally resident elsewhere than in the urban or rural area 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 area 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 a similar adjustment for usual residence as between areas in the County and places outside Northern Ireland. If, powever, 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. * Table X (Housing in Dispensary Districts) is given for Belfast and Londonderry County Boroughs only. xvii

If tables XIII and XIV, ·which have been prepared from tables XII and 14, are examined together, it \vill be seen that the decrease in the number of single persons is partly accounted for by the reduction in the number of children under fifteen years of age, and partly by the relatively high rate of increase in the number of married persons. There is a small increase in the number of \Vido·wed and divorced 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 a~e of the population h~s accordingly risen from 30.3 years in 1911 to 30.7 ye~rs In 1926 a~d 34.0 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!lstituted at the d~te of each census since 1841, and the trend of the population 1n five age groups s1nce 1871.

This table has been prepared on lines similar to those adopted in England and Wales, 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 area and in the rural districts of Banbridge, Hills­ borough, Moira, and Ne\vtownards. The population of the aggregates of urban and rural areas, by sex, 1narital condition, and quinquennial groups of age, is given in Table 15. Table 17 shows for the County as a whole, and also for each urban and rural area, 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 takes place 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. TABLE XV.

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 ·with the highest proportion of Roman Catholic population have a higher ratio of young children to married women than the remaining county districts.

Of the total population of Down County, 75 percent. were born in the County, St per cent. in Belfast County Borough, 8 per cent. in the other five counties of Northern Ireland, and nearly 4 per cent. in the Irish Free State. Only 0. 7 per cent. were born outside the British Isles, and almost one half of these were born in British Dominions and Colonies.

(a) Persons born m the an~ the Channel Islands have been included under this heading. In 1937 they numbered 25 persons born 1ll the Isle of Man and 26 in the Channel Islands. (b) All figures relate to the County as constituted at the~ date of each Census. For particulars of territorial changes see note to Table 2. x:x1

From table XVIII it will be seen that from 1861 to 1926 the general tendency was for the proportions born in Northern Ireland to fall and the proportions born in other parts of the British Isles and abroad to rise. This tendency \vas, ho\vever, checked in the last intercensal period when there was a reduction in the proportions born in . Table 19 deals vvith 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 bet\veen 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 sho\v some exceptional features.

Table XIX has been prepared from table 19 and sho\vs under Rorp.an 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 the ratio of such persons to the total population of the same denon1ina­ tion for all periods of residence compares closely as between Roman Catholics and persons of other denominations. The figures, therefore, do not suggest that in recent years there has been any disproportionate influx of persons, either of Roman Catholic or other denominations, fron1 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 area, and by sex and under t\venty-nine different descriptions for the Cou?ty as a whole. ~he highest prop?rtions of ~ol?an Catholics are to be found 1n Newry, Downpatnck and Warrenpo1nt Urban D1stncts. xxii

For particulars of territorial changes see note to Table 2. t Including Church of England, and Episcopal Church of Scotland, numbering 2,466 and 1, respectively, in 1937. From table XX it will be seen that increased numbers and percentages have been recorded for Roman Catholics, Methodists, and persons of other denominations while Presbyterians and Church of Ireland show decreases both in numbers and percentages. From 1861 onwards the general tendency has been for the pro­ portion of Presbyterians to decrease and for those of Methodists and persons of other denominations to increase. The proportions for Roman Catholics and Church of Ireland have only fluctuated between narrovv limits during this period. COUNTY OF DOWN 1
