The Census Taker in District 22 had trouble with spelling, left a lot of blanks and confusing marks in his records. Many entries have no place of origin, some places he uses ditto (") marks to indicate the same and then others he draws a horizontal line through the box. I believe he used the horizontal line to indicate the "same" like ditto because of the extent to which he uses it. The Irish in this district were living on Denton Lane, Post Office Yard, Castlegate, Westgate, Kirkgate, Spivy Yard, Silk Street, Rosemary Lane and Beast Market. The only entries with an origin in Ireland given were: Mary Murphy (Hawker) born in Roscommon Ireland and Michael Mullen (Laborer)and his wife Mary were born in Rochfield?, Ireland.
