Place & story
Two census years
Ballinard’s entry in the 1851 census lists 110 residents in 1841 and 44 in 1851. The earlier population comprised 46 men and 64 women; ten years later the totals were 18 and 26. The number of inhabited houses fell from 23 to 8, with one further house recorded as uninhabited in 1851. The table places Ballinard under Tullagh parish in the east division of West Carbery, alongside Ballylinchy and Ballymacrown. Its figures record how much this small community contracted over the decade. [2]
