Transcriber's Notes:
This list is numbered on the original and the film is so faint that much of
the transcription had to be done directly from the film -- print copy is
frequently unreadable. Residence was especially difficult to transcribe --
Strabane and Shubane definitely end in "bane" and start with "S" but other
letters are unclear. Prossgear does not exist in geographic databases but
that is how it appeared on the film.
*#3 is possibly Elenoir.
*#8, #73, 74, 77: Residence looks like N L Cady or N L Vady.
*#52 There was an entry but could not be deciphered.
*#88 Possibly Lance.
*#88-92 There is a line drawn through occupation on each of these entries
*#95 The letter after "N" falls below the line.
*#105-110 Probably Glendermott, same as #115.
*#111-113 Possibly Dysart, same as #44.
