Place & story
The rural return
Dromore’s rural return recorded twenty-four inhabitants in 1911, eleven male and thirteen female. Six of its eight houses were occupied and two were empty. The corresponding populations were twelve in 1891 and ten in 1901. The table places the townland in Dromore parish and electoral division, Omagh East barony and Dromore dispensary district, within Omagh Poor Law Union. [2]
The town within the townland
A separate line records Dromore town with 476 inhabitants in 1911, compared with 574 in 1891 and 523 in 1901. A footnote states that the town stood entirely on Dromore townland, whose area and valuation included it. The town’s estimated eighteen acres therefore formed part of the townland’s recorded 157 acres and five perches; the small rural population was not the population of the whole settlement. [2]
