The Walsh families in the 1911 Irish Census
Hugh WALSH had died between the 1901 and 1911 census. His son Patrick and his family are now living in Hugh's house in Cloonaleedin. John WALSH was still in Cloonaleedin. His wife Bridget GARVIN WALSH has also died during this period. I currently do not know the death dates or burials of Hugh and Bridget. Michael WALSH, son of Hugh and father of Bridget #3, continued to live in Carrowkeel.
Cloonaleedin is a townland of 56 acres. Its Irish name & translation is Cluain a'Lidin meaning Leedan’s lawn or meadow. The destruction of the 1841-1891 census left a void for those interested in family history. The following British abstracts for those census years is a bit of help.
In 1841 there were 21 persons and 5 occupied houses in Cloonaleedin
1851 - 34 persons and 5 houses
1861 - 7 persons, 4 male 3 female and 1 house
1871 - 9 persons, 4 male, 5 female and 2 houses
The population of Cloonaleedin in the 1851 census is interesting. During this period Mayo had a 30% decline in population due to the Great Potato Famine.
