Agricultural Census
In
1803, during the Napoleonic Wars, an Agricultural
Census was carried out in Co. Antrim. Unfortunately
only a fragment of this census survives for some parishes
in North Antrim. They are to be found within the baronies
of Cary and Dunluce Lower & Upper and include Armoy
[303 names], Ballintoy [574 names], Ballymoney [1575
names], Ballyrashane [187 names], Ballywillin [81
names], Billy [909 names], Culfeightrin [564 names],
Derrykeighan [496 names], Grange of Drumtullagh [233
names], Dunluce [479 names], Kilraghts [232 names],
Loughguile [1134 names], Ramoan [427 names] and Rathlin
[144 names] - a total of 7338 names.
The
census lists the names of farmers in each townland
within each parish. Below is a link to a database
of these names and places. - read

can be compared with the Griffith's Valuation database
of c.1860 for North Antrim.
