1803 Agricultural Census for the Parishes of Ballymoney and Kilraghts

During the Napoleonic Wars Lord Lieutenants for each of the maritime counties in Great Britain and Ireland were required to carry out an agricultural census enumerating livestock, crops stored, etc. These returns also contained the names of farmers and where they lived.

One such census was carried out in 1803 for County Antrim. Some of this census survives, particularly for North Antrim. I have entered the names of farmers recorded in the parishes of Ballymoney and Kilraghts in the tables listed below. Note that in the tables there is a column which lists the original spelling of surnames recorded in the census and a column with a modern-day or more common spelling selected by me. The table is sorted by common spelling which means that various spellings of a particular surname are kept together. Incidentally, you may not agree with some of my interpretations. Feel free to make up your own mind.

Note that there are two tables - one sorted primarily by surname and the other by parish and townland.
