Place & story
Fifty-five inhabitants
The 1901 census counted fifty-five inhabitants in Corran, thirty-five male and twenty female. Seventeen of its eighteen houses were occupied and one was empty. Its population had been 105 in 1881 and sixty-five in 1891. A footnote attached to the 1891 figures attributes that earlier decrease to emigration. The table places Corran in Killashandra parish and Arvagh electoral division, within Cavan Union, and gives its area as 395 acres and eighteen perches. [2]
