It's "Co" for county. Presumably added by the enumerator. Andrew Smyth's similar annotations are not quite as clear but are probably also amendments to indicate it was Co Derry that he was born in (as opposed to the city of Derry). The terms Londonderry & Derry are for all sensible purposes completely interchangeable. The prefix "London" causes offence in some quarters, and so is not used by all. You will see both in regular use to this day. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
