Twenty-six occupied houses in 1911

The 1911 census counted 115 inhabitants in Clonmore, sixty-two male and fifty-three female. Twenty-six of its twenty-seven houses were occupied and one was empty. The population had been 132 in 1891 and 117 in 1901. The table places the townland in Killyman parish and electoral division, within Oneilland West barony and Armagh Union. [2]

A collection for the team

Clonmore Regeneration Group’s football history describes a notebook preserved by local historian Jim McAlinden. It contains a collection list dated June 1932 for Clonmore Football Club at Hamill’s Field. The group notes contributions from both Catholic and Protestant families. The notebook supplies a particular record of local support for the team during the 1930s. [3]
