Place & story
Twenty-seven occupied houses in 1901
The 1901 census lists Caddy in Drumanaway electoral division, within Drummaul parish and Toome Upper barony. Its townland row records 136 people, sixty-nine male and sixty-seven female. Twenty-seven of thirty-one houses were inhabited, while four were empty. Earlier columns give 190 residents in 1881 and 157 in 1891, alongside thirty-six and thirty-two houses respectively. These figures concern the whole townland, rather than only the small settlement around the Caddy Road junction. The table records the decline without assigning a particular cause to Caddy. [2]
