Place & story

Population and housing in 1851

The 1851 census records fifty-one residents in Carn, twenty-five male and twenty-six female, living in nine inhabited houses. Ten years earlier the townland had contained twenty-two people in four occupied houses, with a fifth house empty. Both the resident population and occupied housing therefore increased. The printed table places this Carn under Enniskillen parish in Tirkennedy barony, distinguishing it from Fermanagh’s other townlands of the same name. It provides the numbers without explaining how the increase occurred. [2]
