Place & story
The return for 1841 and 1851
Carn’s 1851 census return places it in Kinawley parish and Knockninny barony. It contained seventy-two people, evenly divided between males and females, in thirteen inhabited houses. In 1841 there had been ninety-four residents and nine houses, eight occupied and one empty. The increase in occupied houses thus accompanied a smaller population. The table documents these separate changes without explaining their causes or proving that the same families remained throughout the decade. [2]
