Place & story
The rural portion in 1926
The part of Dromore listed in Clonallan electoral division had 111 inhabitants in 1926, fifty-seven male and fifty-four female. Twenty-five of its twenty-seven houses were occupied, one was empty and one was being built. The table records twenty-six private families. This portion, within Warrenpoint dispensary district and Newry No. 1 Rural District, covered 195 acres, one rood and twenty-six perches. [2]
Urban parts counted elsewhere
A footnote identifies Dromore as divided between Clonallan and the Warrenpoint East and West electoral divisions. The urban table lists Dromore within both wards but gives their population figures at ward level rather than a separate total for each townland part. The 111 rural inhabitants therefore cannot be treated as the population of the entire townland. [2]
