Place & story
Eleven residents in 1901
The 1901 census places this Burnside in Ardclinis parish and electoral division, in the barony of Glenarm Lower and Larne poor-law union. Its townland row records eleven people, six male and five female, in two inhabited houses. The earlier columns give two residents in one house in 1881 and eight residents in one house in 1891. These are the figures for the small Ardclinis townland, rather than Burnside town and townland in Kilbride parish farther south. The census table does not explain the change in population. [2]
