Place & story
Seven occupied rural houses
The 1911 census recorded twenty-eight inhabitants in Graigue’s rural return, thirteen male and fifteen female. Seven of its eight houses were occupied and one empty. Its rural population had been nineteen in 1891 and twenty-nine in 1901. The townland’s area was 408 acres and five perches. It lay in Knockgraffon parish and electoral division, Middlethird barony and Tullamain dispensary district, within Cashel Poor Law Union. [2]
Newinn crossed townland boundaries
The same report lists Newinn, spelled Newinn Town in the table, separately with 142 inhabitants. A footnote states that the town stood on Graigue, Loughkent East and Loughkent West, with its area and valuation included in those townlands. The estimated nineteen-acre town and its population therefore extended beyond Graigue alone. [2]
