NOTES

  1. Apart from the above slight differences in spelling, the names in 1845 differed in only one instance from those in 1844 viz. in Aughalislone Hugh Clarke has either died or was dying since the words "or heir" were added to his name.
  2. In every case the rates for 1845 were slightly lower than for 1844
