Place & story
Residents and houses
The 1911 census counted seventeen people in this Ballyduff: ten males and seven females, living in two inhabited houses. Its comparative columns give ten residents and three houses in 1901, and eleven residents and two houses in 1891. The table places the townland in Ballycanew electoral division within Gorey Union. It documents changing totals, but gives no reason why more people were recorded in fewer houses between 1901 and 1911. [2]
