1901 Census Enumerators' Returns for Ballymoney
Rural Area
The 1901 Census
Enumerators' Returns lists all persons living in
houses in the Ballymoney area on the night of 31st
March 1901. As well as collecting information on
persons and families, details of houses and
outbuildings were also noted. For more information
about these returns, go to
PRONI.
Note that microfilm copies of these returns are also
available at the Local History Unit in the Ballymena
Public Library.
Clearly, it would be
impossible to provide you with the returns for every
townland in the Ballymoney Rural District. This
would be a web site in itself. Instead, I have chosen
three areas within the Ballymoney rural area centred
on Seacon/Tullaghgore, Ballycormick/Ballywattick and Killyramer/Kilraghts
- see
map.
Below, you will find links to three tables for each
area
- One giving details of persons
and families - one giving details of the houses that
they lived in - and one which gives information
about any outbuildings or offices associated with
each house.
- The information
in each table
is presented by townland (in a geographical order) -
and within each townland by house number. Note
that this house number is not the same as the
house numbers in the 1859 Griffith's Valuation.
It is simply a number assigned to each house by
the enumerator as he made his way around the
townland.
- The tables are
small enough for you to scroll through the data to
find a particular townland. You can do the same for
names or you can search for a particular name
using the Find (on This Page) command in the
Edit Menu in the toolbar of your browser.
I have also created
an alphabetical list of heads of families
(households) in all three rural areas in the one
table. The table includes profession, townland,
house number in census and some details of each
house.

Remember, however,
there will be individuals with different names living within the
households listed, e.g.
lodgers, servants, aunts, uncles, etc. Use the Find
command to search for such people.
