PREFACE.

This volume has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 (1) of the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1936, from the census returns made as at midnight 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 bridging the gap between the 1926 census and the next full census. Certain questions usually found on census schedules, such as those regarding occupation and industry, were 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 volumes is the district electoral division, but statistics in respect of townlands, 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 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 1s. Od. for the topographical index supplement. The volumes for Belfast County Borough and Counties Antrim, Armagh, Down, and Fermanagh have already been published. The volume for County Londonderry will be published shortly, 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 townland. 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 General, who will 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 1899-1907 (foreshore 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 and lakes 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 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. 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 ten county districts (four urban districts and six rural districts), comprising 145 district electoral divisions, eleven of which are coterminous with entire urban districts or wards thereof (see table 4). The district electoral division forms the unit for the purpose of poor law elections. Seven poor law unions are contained within the County-six wholly and one partly, the remaining portion of the divided union being situated in County F ermanagh. The medical dispensary districts situated in the County number twenty-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 :five parliamentary constituencies for elections to the Northern Ireland Parliament. For the purpose of elections to the United Kingdom Parlia­ ment Counties Tyrone and Fermanagh together fonn a single constituency (see table 12). The County is divided into twenty-seven county electoral divisions, which are the units for the purpose of county council elections (see table 7). 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 changes made in the constitution or boundaries of administrative divisions of the County during the last intercensal period are as follows :- (a) The three Wards of Omagh Urban District, viz., the North, South, and West Wards, were reconstituted (25th June, 1935), and the boundaries of the three existing District Electoral Divisions similarly named were made coterminous with those of the Wards as reconstituted (26th June, 1935) ; · (b) The creation by the House of Commons (Method of Voting and Redistri­ bution of Seats) Act (Northern Ireland), 1929, of five parliamentary constituencies for the purpose of elections to the Parliament of Northern Ireland. HOUSES. 1. The term '' House '' denotes (a) each structure containing dwelling accommodation (except institutions) which stands alone or is 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 dwelling. 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 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 would again be made fit for habitation. ROOMS. 1. The rooms enumerated are the usual living roo1ns, 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 2-l 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 reference to table 9, in which the actual number of rooms is given. 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 i;nhabitants of each institution (see 1 (b) of " Houses" definition), hotel, boarding-house, lodging-house, or vessel; (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 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, railways, tramways, canals, fisheries, tur­ baries, mines, quarries, waterworks, telegraphs, telephones, and electricity, gas, and water mains. Subject to the provisions of the 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 ~' 6, and 7 are the totals. of the valuations of the .rateable hereditaments in the vanous areas before reduction on account of derating, but exclude in certain cases the valuations of electricity, gas, and water mains, telegraphs, telephones, :fisheries, wat~rw?rks, _and tramways. The total of such excluded valuations for the County IS given In a footnote to the tables. The total for the County of rateable valuations after reduction on account of derating is given on page x. USlTAL 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 hou,ses. (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. The very small number of persons whose birthplaces were not stated on the census schedule were assumed to have been born in the county in which enumerated except in the cases of persons with foreign names and persons stated to be visitors to the household. After further enquiry in these 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 mm;e (see table. 20). The heading" Presbyterian" includes those who call th~mselves by this name without qualification, together with those who describe themselves as members of the Church of Scotland. Other Presby­ terian denominations are shown at the foot of table 20. Members of the Church of England and the Episcopal Church of Scotland have been included under the heading ''Church of Irela:n,d.'' 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 nuuwrals 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 indicaJe that infcn;matio:o. cannot or is not intended to . be given. · CORRECTION OF CENSUS DATA. . Jtvery effort has been made to- eliminate, as far as practi!rnble, errors and InaccuraCles. from the census data. The process of correction began with the enu:merators, who received full instructions as to the action to be taken in cases of error or omission, ~nd it was continued by a system of check and further e:uquiry where necessar¥ appJ?.ed at ec:ch stage _of the office. work. The process. was com... ple~ed by. an lnteusive s~rutiny and Inter-companson of the tabulation sheets. This scrutmy and co?lPan~on revealed a certain number of incongruities., which,, when matenal, ~e~e Investigated and corrected in the light of the facts disclosed.' In a few cases tnfling errors were adjusted arbitrarily. ix

PART I. STATISTICAL NOTES.

NoTES.-(1) The definitions, etc., contained ~n the preceding sect·ion apply equally to these notes and to the tables in Part II.

(2) The descriptions of areas ~tsed in this volu11ze relate to the con­ ditions which existed at the census date. I1z, particular, the tenn Irish Free State has been employed in the tables, since the natne Ei·re did not conze into operation for that area until the 29th December, 1937.

AREA. The area of Tyrone County, exclusive of the larger rivers and lakes, is 1,218 square miles or 23.2 per cent. of the area of Northern Ireland.

POPULATION. The total population enumerated in the County was 127,586, and has decreased by 5,206 or 3.9 per cent. since 1926. A decrease has been recorded at each census enumeration since 1841 when the population was nearly two and a half times the present population. (Figures for census years 1821 onwards are shown in table 2).

* Including the deaths of non-civilians of the County of Tyrone 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 1871, but it is evident that in each of the intercensal periods from 1841 to 1871, as well as from 1871 to 1937, there was a net outward movement of such dimensions as not only to counterbalance the natural increase, but to cause a marked decrease in population.

Urban and Rural Districts.-All urban districts, with the exception of Cookstown, show increases in population during the past eleven years, and all rural districts show decreases. In most cases the increase or decrease is a con­ tinuation of the trend since 1901. The 1937 urban population constitutes 14.6 per cent. of the whole as compared with 13.3 per cent. in 1926, 12.2 per cent. in 1911, and 11.3 per cent. in 1901-the percentages quoted relating to urban.districts as constituted at the date of each census. It will be noted that substantial increases in population were recorded in Omagh and Strabane Urban Districts, and that the greatest decreases occurred in the Rural Districts of Omagh, Coqks­ town, and Clogher:

The persons per acre rates vary in the urban districts between 17.5 in Dun­ gannon and 3.0 in Strabane. These rates, however, should be used with reserve in measuring the density of population in urban districts, since the acreages of these areas may include widely differing proportions of waste land, land under pasture, etc. In rural districts the rates vary between 0.2 and 0.1 persons per acre.

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. The greatest loss by n1igration is amongst females in rural districts.

Table 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 £548.,698 before reduction on account of derating, and £196,349 after reduction on account of derating. These figures compare with a rateable valuation of £468,593 in 1926, but it is to be noted that during the intercensal period, not only was a derating scheme introduced,.. but a general revaluation took place. xi

Towns and Villages other than Urban Districts.-Table 5 deals with towns created under the Towns linprovement (Ireland) Act, 1854, and tovvns or villages which may be defined as clusters of 50 or more houses with no legally defin~d boundaries. The total number of these two classes of towns is 23, and of these, three have a population of a little over 1,000 each, and five have a population of between 500 and 1,000 each. The total population of the 23 tovvns is 11,881. 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 n1ore years of age, and (a) has the requisite residence qualification of six months and (unless a native of N qrthern 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.

Education Areas.-The Tyrone County Council _is the educa.tion authority for the entire County, which is divided into five reg1onal educahon areas con- stituted as follows:- Regional Education Area. Contents. Clog her Clogher Rural District. \ Cookstown Cookstown Urban and Rural Districts. Dungannon Dungannon Urban and Rural Districts. Omagh Omagh Urban and Rural Districts. Strabane and Castlederg Strabane Urban District, and Castlederg and Strabane 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 comprise all buildings, including institutions, etc., which are normally used for dwelling purposes, and, since over 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 intercensal decrease of 260 houses is equivalent to a decrease of less than 1 per cent. as compared with a decrease in population during the eleven years of almost 4 per cent. The number of uninhabited houses has also decreased since 1926, and is the lowest number recorded since 1871. ·

Persons per Inhabited House and Persons per Census Family .-As 1night 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 a little over four persons per family. As compar·ed with a decrease of almost 4 per cent. in the population since 1926, the number of census families has decreased by only 0.2 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 4.30 4.13 Persons per Private Family 4.27 4.11 Persons per Room in Private Houses 1.07 1.00 xiii

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

There has been an increase in the total number of houses in each urban district,. the largest increases occurring in Omagh and Strabane Urban Districts. Each rural district, ho·wever, shows a decrease, the largest decreases being those for Cookstown, Omagh, and Clogher Rural Districts. 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 the1n. Similar particulars in regard to each county district can readily be obtained from tables 9 and 10 in this volume and the corresponding tables in the Tyrone County Report for the 1926 census.

For the County as a whole substantial increases are recorded in the proportion of 4 and 5 roomed hou~es 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 except Dungannon Urban District, in which a small decrease has been recorded in the proportion of 4 and 5 roomed houses. In all districts, except Dungannon and Strabane Urban Districts, the number of inhabited 1 to 3 roomed houses shows a marked decrease as col?pared with the number in 1926. The proportion of private houses sublet in 1937 was 0.3 per cent., which rate is only one-half of the rate for 1926.

Overcrowding .-In order to determine the measure of accommodation essential if overcrowding is to be a voided, 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 c;Iealing 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 county districts, except Dungannon and Strabane Urban Districts, share in this improvement. The actual amount of overcrowding in the various districts is shown 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 decreases in the number of houses in 21 out of the 28 districts. Omagh No. 1 and Strabane Districts are the only districts which show marked increases, these being due chiefly to the large increases in the number of houses in Omagh and Strabane Urban Districts respectively.

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.

The total number and population of hotels and boarding houses in the County have both decreased by about 25 per cent., while the numbers of inmates of poor law and other institutions all show small increases. 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 l.l per cent. of the enumerated population of County Tyrone was normally­ resident elsewhere than in the urban or rural district of enumeration, and more than one-third 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

* Table X (Housing in Dispensary Districts) is given for Belfast and Londonderry County Boroughs only. xvi 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, however, a census ·enumeration were carried out on the same date throughout the British Isles, 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 t'ables XII and 14, .are exa~ined together, it will be seen. thc-~t the decrease in the number of single persons 1s accounted for by the· reduction 1n the number of children under fifteen years of age, and to some extent by the increase in the number of married persons. The decrease in the number of widowed and divorced persons roughly corresponds with the decrease in the total population.

The tendency just referred to is illustrated in the following graph, \Vhich shows the trend of the population of the County as constituted at the date of each census since 1841, and the trend of the population in five age groups since 1871.

' 1841 1851 1861 1871 1881 1891 1901 1911 1926 1937 CENSUS YEAR Table 16 shows the population of each urban and rural area by sex, marital condition, and quinquennial groups of age. 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 xviii number of males in each urban district, while in each rural district there is an excess of males. The population of the aggregates of urban and rural districts, by sex, marital condition, and quinquennial groups of age is given in table 15. Table 17 sho·ws 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 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.

In some counties the difference was more marked, and as this suggested the possibility of a higher fertility rate among Roman Catholics, table XVI was pre­ pared. The results disclosed by this table, so far as County Tyrone is concerned, provide no conclusive evidence on this question, but in certain other counties it was evident 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.

BIRTHPLACES. Table 18 sho·ws, 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 Tyrone County, 84 per cent. were born in the County, 8 per cent. in the remainder of Northern Ireland, and 5 per cent. in the Irish Free State. Only 0.6 per cent. were born outside the British Isles, and more than one third of these were born in British Dominions and Colonies. Persons born in foreign countries numbered 483, and 9 persons were born at sea.

(a) Persons born in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands have been included under th1s headmg. In 1937 they numbered 10 persons born in the Isle of Man and 1 in the Channel Islands. . XX

From table XVIII it will be seen that since 1861 there have been no marked variations in the proportions of the population born in the several parts of. the British Isles and abroad. Up 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 was, however, checked in the last intercensal period when there was a reduction in the proportions born in Great Britain and in the Irish Free State. 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 the ratio of such persons to the total population of the same denomina­ tion for all periods of residence does not differ widely as between Roman Catholics and persons of other denominations, although, for the shorter durations of residence, the proportions of persons of other denominations are the greater. The differences in the ratios, however, do not suggest that in recent years there has been any disproportionate influx of persons, either of Roman Catholic or other deno1ninations 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 th~ P?Pulation by sex and religion in four main groups for each urban and rural d1stnct, and by sex and under twenty-one different descrip­ tions for the County as a whole. The highest proportions of Roman Catholics are to be found in Strabane and Omagh Urban Districts, and in Omagh Rural District. xxi

From table XX it will be seen that there has been a decrease both in the number and percentage of Roman Catholics, and that, although the numbers of Presbyterians, Church of Ireland, and Methodists, all show small decreases, their proportions are the same as in 1926. A slight increase both in the number and percentage of persons of other denominations has been recorded. During the period from 1861 onwards the percentage of persons of other denominations has shown a tendency to increase, but the percentages of other religions have not fluctuated to any appreciable extent.
