The census is subdivided in the order : County -- DED (District Electoral Division) -- Townland or Street. Sometimes the DED takes its name in whole or part from an included town or village, the only example in Belfast being Belfast East in County Antrim. Belfast is indeed in two counties, Antrim and Down, separated by the River Lagan that runs through the middle of the city. Hope this makes it a little clearer, Roger
