Registration Province of Munster
The figures inserted represent the number of entries in the Births Index, under each name (including varieties), and thus afford material for comparison as to the relative number of persons of each name. Names where the prefixes “O” and “Mac” have been retained have been combined in this Table with those in which these prefixes have been dropped, the form given in each case being that most numerously represented.
