Notes: |
Irish-born residents made up almost 17% of the Victorian population in 1854. This compares with 15% who were Scottish-born and 41% who were born in England. Roman Catholics made up 17.1% of the Victorian population. The statistics for Geelong are not very different as there were no enclaves in the district which were particularly Irish such as was the case with several other areas in Victoria. (Introduction.)
