I for Ireland?

[Hannah Reading]

A relative is marked on the 1841 census as not born in the county. Archives have transcribed this as an I for Ireland.  Do you think this is correct?

If you look at the heading to that column is says ‘Whether born in Scotland Ireland or Foreign parts’

So: I = Ireland.
      S= Scotland
      F= Foreign Parts

Was going to ask......
What does it say at top of column?   

[Hannah Reading]

Sorry, it says exactly what Jen said.
I just wondered if they may have put other letters, meaning other counties in there as well. I didn't think it was a definite 'I'
Thanks

Looks like an I to me.

May  I please confirm those earlier posts .... that is definitely the capital letter 'I'.  That style of longhand was still being taught in New South Wales, Australia until the mid 1960s.  I am born 1947 and I continue to use that style. My siblings,  cousins, and my elderly rellies can easily read my hand,  but the younger set cannot.  They PRINT or have to rely on keyboards etc.
