Remarks of schoolmaster or other Person appointed to divide the Parish by the Sheriff or Provost.

“I am not aware of any peculiarity connected with the population of this parish. A few young persons are at present in other parishes as servants etc., but I consider an equal number from other parishes are at present similarly engaged in this. 12 persons have left for the colonies within the last six months.” J.C. (John Carleton, Schoolmaster)

Notes:

Sometimes the enumerator noted the exact age, other times he rounded it to the nearest five as was usual with the 1841 Census.

Where I believe it to be a ‘new’ family at the same place name, I have separated it by a line space.

Some place names were difficult to read, and some were just misspelled. I wrote it as I found it.

Where no employment is noted, no employment was given.
