In 1911 there were four households in the Mulroog region. There are 18 individuals who are all roman catholic with 9 males and nine females. All were born in county Galway except Mary Fahy in house two who was born in America. The census shows that all four houses were built as a private dwelling[1], they were all built the same way with Stone or brick walls, Wood or thatch roofs, two rooms and three windows all being second class dwellings. Each of the heads of family owned the holdings to the house. There were 15 farm steadings with house one having a stable, a piggery and a barn.

His son in law John Kiely (48) and grand children Bridget (13), Mary (11) and Winnie (9). Patrick worked as a farmer and his son as a farmer’s son.

[1] I find the writing of the household form hard to read but I believe it is meant to imply that the results are the same as the entry above it
