Seventy-three residents
Churchfield’s 1901 census entry records seventy-three inhabitants, forty-one male and thirty-two female. All twelve houses were occupied. Its comparative columns give eighty-two residents in thirteen houses in 1881 and seventy-four residents in eleven houses in 1891. The table identifies this Churchfield with Knock parish and Costello barony, in Claremorris Union, and records an area of 404 acres, three roods and five perches.
