Place & story
The rural townland return
The 1911 census lists Camolin in Toome parish, within Kilcomb electoral division and Scarawalsh barony. Its rural townland row records twenty-five people, thirteen male and twelve female, in six inhabited houses. The corresponding earlier populations were twenty-four in 1891 and twenty-seven in 1901. These figures exclude the separately enumerated town. [2]
The town’s separate population
Camolin town had 274 residents in 1911, with sixty-three inhabited houses and one empty house. A footnote states that it stood within the townland of the same name, whose area and valuation included the town. The town’s estimated extent was thirty acres. This distinction preserves the census geography: twenty-five was the rural return, rather than the population of Camolin as a whole. [2]
