Place & story
Eight inhabited houses in 1911
Brannock’s rural census entry had thirty-four residents in 1911, sixteen males and eighteen females, living in eight inhabited houses. The original report lists it in Poyntz Pass electoral division, Ballymore parish and Lower Orior barony. Its comparative columns give forty-four residents in twelve houses in 1891 and thirty-nine residents in ten houses in 1901. [2]
The town crossed several boundaries
A separate return counted the Armagh portion of Poyntz Pass town. The report explains that this part stood on Brannock, Federnagh and Tullynacross, while the remainder lay in County Down. It recorded 286 people in the Armagh portion and 348 across the entire town. Those town totals cannot be assigned wholly to Brannock, nor does its rural figure alone represent everyone living within the townland. [2]
