Place & story
A household in the census
The 1911 census recorded seven residents in Ballyduff: four males and three females, occupying one inhabited house. The same table gives five people and one house in both 1891 and 1901. Its headings identify this Ballyduff with Monamolin parish and Gorey barony, within Killenagh electoral division. These are townland totals; they do not establish that the same family occupied the house throughout those twenty years. [2]
