Place & story
Two rural houses
The rural part of Fivemiletown townland had six inhabitants in 1911, four male and two female, in two occupied houses. Its recorded area was 215 acres, two roods and sixteen perches. The return places it in Clogher parish and Fivemiletown electoral division and dispensary district, within Clogher Poor Law Union. [2]
A town on two townlands
Fivemiletown town was counted separately, with 528 inhabitants, 252 male and 276 female, in 113 occupied houses and six empty houses. The census states that the town stood on Ballyvaddan and Fivemiletown townlands. Its estimated twenty-one acres were included in their areas and valuations. The whole town population therefore cannot be assigned to Fivemiletown townland alone. [2]
