Whilst doing look ups for specific requests from listers, I have been making notes of statistics. Although most of the Irish immigrants living in England, Scotland and Wales in the Spring of 1881 (almost a million) only gave Ireland as their place of birth, some were helpful and gave the County, some even more helpful gave the town, although not a very high percentage. The following statistics do not include those children of the family who were born in UK following emigration, nor any spouses born in the UK, nor, of course, those who managed to avoid being counted at all. Those who gave Mayo as their place of birth are shown in most parts of UK, but the overwhelming majority were in the North especially in Lancashire, showing that the industrial centres and coal mines of the north were their main target, possibly reached via Liverpool. The figures showing birthplace as Mayo are as follows : Lancashsire & NW England 5063 Northern England border counties and vessels, 448 Yorkshire and N E England 2757 Midlands (Central England) 2777 London and S E England 755 East Anglia and Lincolnshire 92 S W England 138 Wales 155 Scotland 501 I've managed to find quite a few Mayo families for listers, but I do need as much information as possible to narrow down the search, as blanket searches get too many results to be able to find and forward the census return details. If you would like a lookup, please ask OFFLIST. Mary G researching CLARKE, COSTELLO, Claremorris, Co. Mayo, HEAD Dublin, MCNALLY, Co. Down, JORDON Co.
