Interviewer instructions

Question 11 - Religion.
The precise denomination should be given for every person. The term "Protestant" is not sufficiently precise; the particular religious body should be specified, e.g. Church of Ireland, Presbyterian, Methodist, Society of Friends. Considerable tact must be exercised if it is found necessary to question a householder on this point and as already stated in Instruction 28 the Enumerator should not press the matter if the respondent refuses to answer any of his questions on this subject.
