Place & story
Twenty-four inhabitants
The 1911 census counted twenty-four people in Clare, fourteen male and ten female. Its housing return lists seven houses: six occupied and one being built. The comparative columns give thirty residents and eight houses in 1891, followed by twenty-seven residents and six houses in 1901. The table identifies Clare with Killare parish, Rathconrath barony and Killare electoral division in Mullingar Union. Its recorded area was 848 acres and two perches. The construction entry does not establish when the new house was completed. [2]
