Place & story
A small population over twenty years
The 1911 census places this Ballybeg in Newchapel parish, within Lisronagh electoral division. It records eleven residents, six male and five female, in three inhabited houses. The comparative columns give nine people in 1901 and eight in 1891. There had been three houses in 1901 and two in 1891. These modest totals preserve the scale of this particular rural community at the beginning of the twentieth century. [2]
