Place & story
Two parts of one townland
The 1911 census counted 109 people in the rural portion of Ballymore: forty-eight males and sixty-one females. That portion contained twenty-six houses, twenty-five inhabited and one empty. The same page lists an urban portion within Tandragee Urban District, but includes its figures in the district total rather than giving a separate population. The rural figure therefore does not represent the whole townland. This distinction explains how Ballymore belonged to both rural and urban census areas. [2]
