Place & story
Fifty-five inhabited houses
The original 1911 census places Broughderg in Beaghmore electoral division, within Lissan parish and Dungannon Upper barony. Its area was recorded as 4,244 acres, three roods and thirty-four perches. The townland contained 247 people, 130 male and 117 female, and all fifty-five houses were inhabited. [2]
A smaller population than in 1891
The same table gives 331 residents and seventy-four houses in 1891, followed by 268 residents and seventy houses in 1901. The figures show a reduction in both population and recorded houses over those twenty years. They concern Broughderg townland itself; the larger totals for Beaghmore electoral division also include neighbouring townlands in Lissan and Kildress parishes. The table supplies no particular cause for Broughderg’s change. [2]
