Place & story

People and houses in the original return

The 1911 census places Cappagh in Kilflyn parish and electoral division, within Clanmaurice barony. It records forty-five residents, twenty-five male and twenty female. Of eight houses, six were inhabited, one was empty and one was being built. The population had been sixty-one in 1891 and fifty-nine in 1901. The table therefore captures both a smaller resident population and building activity at the time of enumeration; it does not explain the circumstances of either. [2]
