Famine Eviction Maps

Hi Adrian

Here are some resources:

Irish Famine Eviction 

Famine Eviction Maps

To inspect the population decline of any given townland, I'd also recommend comparing the population and housing reports (by townland) from the census of 1841 and 1851. For example, Aghagower townland (55 houses in 1841) lost 17 houses during the famine (38 houses in 1851). Moreover, its population more than halved during the famine and the numbers are staggering – 520 persons in 1841 down to 203 in 1851.  

Here's the link for Connaught (Co. Roscommon begins on page 422)...  

Census of Ireland 1881 Area, Population & Number of Houses

Whether the loss of population was due to emigration, eviction, famine deaths, or a combination of all, would require further research, and I'd recommend various searches in Newspaper Archives for the landlord's name, the parish name, the townland name coupled with a broad range of vocabulary for "eviction" such as "extermination"...

Hope this helps!

Hello, Geraldine.

Thank you for replying. The image of the table of the Parish of Fuerty was quite blurred so I could not see the data, nor could I see the column headings. 

I have 3 sample maps created by Tim Duke which I am happy to share and which might give you an insight into my quest. 

My email is adriandumsa@gmail.com 

Kind regards,

AD
