1901 Census Ardmore village, Waterford

The 1901 Census (http://goo.gl/wxJdrk) lists approx 232 people living in approx 61 different houses in the village of Ardmore. If we exclude the scholars (schoolchildren) listed in the village we can see a wide range of occupations dominated by the number of people in service nd also by farmers. Publicans, drapers, dressmakers, plasterers, boatmakers, carpenters are all present along with a blacksmith, national school teachers and a number of other occupations. The village seemed quite a self-sufficient place really.

The Irish Army in Dungarvan in 1922

The Irish National Army was formed in 1922 and the early months were challenging for many reasons. Social turmoil was reflected in the logistical challenge of  running the newly founded army. A census of Irish army members was held at midnight 12/13 November 1922.
