Place & story

A population including institutions

Dundrum townland had 180 inhabitants in 1911, thirty-nine male and 141 female. A footnote specifies that this total included inmates of an industrial school and a college. Sixteen houses were occupied and two were empty. The comparison columns record forty-seven inhabitants in 1891 and twenty-three in 1901, but the report gives no separate institutional subtotal here. [2]

Where the village was counted

The table places Dundrum in Ballintemple parish, Kilnamanagh Lower barony and Kilpatrick electoral and dispensary districts, within the South Riding part of Cashel Poor Law Union. Its area was 1,705 acres, three roods and three perches. The settlement called Dundrum town was included in neighbouring Garryduff East because it no longer contained twenty inhabited houses. That village return therefore belonged to a different townland. [2]
