Place & story
A changing population in the same number of houses
The 1901 census recorded forty-six people in Ballymore: twenty-two males and twenty-four females, in eight inhabited houses. Its comparative columns give fifty-nine residents in 1891 and fifty-two in 1881, with eight houses in each year. The table names the place as Bally More within Kilbrittain parish and electoral division, in Bandon Union. No explanatory footnote is attached to this row, so it does not establish why the population changed. [2]
