  #2 age could be 20 or 22.

 #14 in occupation column was a horizontal line, does not seem to 
     indicate ditto, as "do" was written elsewhere on list for the 
     word ditto.
 #16-17 same as #14.  
 #32 residence name spelled something like Drumhure or Drumhurr or 
     Drumhaire or Drumhuve.  Age 22 or 62 perhaps.
 #33 surname could be McNulty or McNutt or McNult.
 #36 residence something like Boneygel.
 #38 first name abbreviation may begin with J.  Not sure if it is 
     male or female.

#108 surname possibly McIdere or McKelere but uncertain.
#116 age 18 or 28.
#117-122 nothing in occupation columns.  For residence, uncertain if 
     it was to be Looley, New Derry for all or if Looley was for the 
     first 3, and New Derry for the others.  But as they are probably 
     the same family, it was probably Looley, New Derry for all.
#119 first name Margt or Mary.
#135-136 surname something like Blea or Blec or perhaps Rhe.
#135-137 same as #59.
#139-141 three names were crossed off in this area, and others written in.
