Place & story

Fourteen people in 1901

The original 1901 census recorded fourteen residents in Ballynoe, Gortroe parish: seven males and seven females. All three houses were inhabited. Its comparative columns give thirteen residents in both 1881 and 1891, with three houses at each census. The townland lay within Gortroe electoral division and Fermoy Union. These figures describe a small settlement whose recorded house count remained steady across the three censuses, without showing whether the same families stayed throughout. [2]
