Place & story
The town’s separate return
The 1901 census counted 203 inhabitants in Connor town, eighty-nine male and 114 female. Sixty of its sixty-three houses were occupied and three were empty. The town had 234 inhabitants in 1881 and 183 in 1891. A footnote states that the town stood on Connor townland and occupied an estimated thirty-three acres, with its area and valuation included in the townland entry. [2]
The rural entry
The separate rural entry for Connor recorded ninety inhabitants in nineteen occupied houses in 1901. It lists forty males and fifty females, compared with ninety-three residents in 1891 and eighty-one in 1881. The table places Connor in its namesake parish and electoral division, in Lower Antrim barony. Its recorded townland area was 493 acres, two roods and seven perches. The rural count should therefore be distinguished from the town’s separate population. [2]
