Looking for the Other in 1911 Clare, and not finding much
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2022 8:53 am
The 1901 and 1911 censuses online (digitalized by the National Archives of Ireland) have a “More Search Options” button which helps us find the county, or country of birth of each person counted. At the end of the list of counties and countries, there is another category labeled “Other” and, in the case of Co. Clare, in 1911, there are 1487 people in this category. But, instead of finding a lot of unusual birthplaces, as I expected, I found only 24. This is because the vast majority of the “Other” counties/countries, which people gave as their places of birth, are places in Clare and in Ireland. Many people gave “Ireland” which was not acceptable, so they are all in this “Other” basket. Many others gave a local place-name – not acceptable either. Quite a few gave “Co. Tipp” and “Co. Limk”, but these abbreviations were not acceptable - likewise place-names in other counties. Some people, who were born in America, or Canada, or Australia, are in “Other”, having given the name of the city or state, rather than the country – John Smith, for instance, gave N S W, so went into “Other”. The many people who were born in England, Scotland, or Wales, and who gave name of place rather than name of country, are in “Other”. And, of course, those who misspelled the name of county, or country are in “Other”, including the following two, who had added just one letter:
Anne Tubridy, Creegh, North (Creegh) – Sweeden
Clemens Dilger, Corkalley Lane (Ennis No. 2 Urban) – Geremany
Lawrence Williams, Lack (Kilchreest) wrote Holland, instead of “Netherlands”
Two more gave capital cities instead of countries:
Julia E M Didot, Cappagh (Kilrush Urban) – Paris
Lisa Katherine Dwyer, Breaffy, South (Miltownmalbay) – Vienna
A few more gave place names in India, instead of “India”:
Geo Richard Frederick Tottenham, Ballynoe (Formoyle) – Poona
Walter Sinon Lucas, Drumellihy (Westby) (Drumellihy) – Jubbulpore
Charles Kenneth Lucas, Drumellihy (Westby) (Drumellihy) – Mhow
Amelia J Gloster, Parteen (Ballyglass) – Calcutta
When all of the above are taken out of the “Other” basket, the number (in Clare) goes from 1487 down to just the following 24:
Leo Mulardo, Nutfield (Ruan) – B Burmah
Henry McMahon, The Borheen (Ennis No. 1 Urban) – Arabia
