Any thoughts for the place of birth of the son?

Could it be Cloon? (from Cluan = a meadow)

I'd say John Pole and Norry or Mary Wixtead.

Aetas means 'age' and aetatis is its genitive singular, 'of age' - in the register shown it simply means that the individuals were aged as Lottpaul says. FWIW a farmer is agricola, often to be found in the alumni register of TCD

I’d agree with VirginiaB on her take on the Census enumerator. He filled in that sheet bilingually – using a mixture of French and English. In the preceding entry he has fevrier, avril and august, while elsewhere he has ‘aout’, although missing the circumflex.
In ‘French French’ ‘Chef’* is ‘head’, as in ‘head of family’ (not necessarily husband); ‘femme’ is wife. Informally one would say ‘ma femme’ / my wife (literally ‘my woman’), but formally or in a legal context one would say ‘mon épouse’. A wife would always say ‘mon epoux’ but never ‘mon homme’
Canadian French is different (and without wishing to give offense to Tac Foley who posts here sometimes) so are the French Canadians!;)
Au Canada, on n’a jamais un trou, toujours on a un flat!

*Chef the cook is from 'chef de cuisine' = head of [the] kitchen'.

I am sure its William Farrell.
