Drumgooland

Until about the year 1784, there was only one parish in the area known as Drumgooland. From around that time two separate parishes were formed and ever since have been known as Upper and Lower Drumgooland. A wonderful article detailing the history of the parish is available here.

Michael McCartan has kindly made available copies of the 1803 Agricultural Census for Drumgooland Parish. The background to the 1803 agricultural census is explained in Ian Maxwell's book "Researching Down Ancestors" published by the Ulster Historical Foundation in 2004.
