Place & story
The Moate electoral division entry
Baltrasna in Kilcleagh parish had twenty-nine residents in 1911: seventeen males and twelve females. Five houses were recorded, with four inhabited and one empty. The original Westmeath report places it in Moate electoral division, within Athlone Union. Its comparative columns give eight residents in three houses in 1891 and twenty-one residents in five houses in 1901. These figures concern the small townland beside Cregganmacar and Curries, rather than Baltrasna in Mullingar parish. [2]
