1911
Residents of a house 17 in Ballintur (Killowen, Down)

All were Catholic. All were born in County Down. None could read Irish. All age 11 or over could read and write English.
Note: I suspect that "farmer's son" and "farmer's daughter" means that they were not attending school, but were working on the farm.
