Place & story

A change between censuses

The published 1901 census lists Ballyea in Kilmacrehy parish under Ballysteen electoral division. Its comparative figures record one house and three people in 1881, but no houses or residents in either 1891 or 1901. The row gives the townland’s area as forty acres and eight perches. No explanatory footnote is attached to Ballyea, so the table does not establish why its recorded population disappeared. [2]
