Place & story
Houses and residents
Five people were recorded in Ballyedward at the 1911 census: two males and three females, in one inhabited house. Its comparative columns give three residents in 1901 and five in 1891, with two houses at each of those earlier censuses. The table places Ballyedward in Tyfarnham parish and Portloman electoral division within Mullingar Union. It records the reduction in houses, but does not explain it. [2]
