Map of the Poor Law Unions, Dispensary [Local Registrars'] Districts & District Electoral Divisions [DEDs] of North Antrim, c.1900

This map shows the Poor Law Unions in North Antrim, part of Mid Antrim and the eastern part of Co. Londonderry after the County Council Act of 1898. Portrush and Bushmills were now part of Ballymoney Poor Law Union and Kilrea was part of Coleraine Poor Law Union [see earlier map of Poor Law Unions in North Antrim and East Londonderry c.1860]. The map below also shows the Dispensary [Local Registrars'] Districts and the DEDs within each PLU.

  • The boundaries and names of each Poor Law Union are shown in green.
  • The boundaries and names of each Dispensary [Local Registrar's] District are shown in blue.
  • The names of each DED within each Dispensary [Local Registrar's] District are shown in red. Note, however, that the map only gives a general impression of the location of each DED within each Dispensary [Local Registrar's] District - no DED boundaries are shown.
  • Note also that only some of the Dispensary [Local Registrar's] Districts and the DEDs in Ballymena Poor Law Union are shown. Apart from Clogh, I am not sure of the boundaries of the Dispensary [Local Registrar's] Districts in the Ballymena PLU, so they are missing.
  • Also only Waterfoot Dispensary [Local Registrar's] District and Ardclinis DED are shown in Larne Poor Law Union. Again, I am not sure of the boundaries.
  • For more details on the townlands within each DED, see the database of Townlands in North Antrim and their Administrative Divisions at the Administrative Divisions link in the top menu.
