Census 1901 Culdaff EASY READ

The occupations listed provide interesting reading and reveal the dominance of the “Big House” and the impact of the cottage industries which were thriving at this time. Upwards on a dozen were employed in the “Big House” and some are listed: cook, parlourmaid, gardener, agricultural labourer, coachman, etc. I knew Lizzie Crowe who worked there as a cook and was present on the night of the burning of Culdaff House during the Troubles. She helped to carry out the silverware and lay it on the lawn. She recognised the IRA platoon which was based in Carndonagh but had local activists, and said one of them was “winking” at her when she opened the door and let them in. 

Seven females in the village were working in the cottage industries although the number is probably higher. They collected work in the outstation in Carndonagh and returned it at a specified time when completed. Other occupations listed include letter carrier, carpenter, loan fund operator and machinist. 

Note that Hegarty’s are spirit merchants but I have seen the archives from the RIC in Moville and the business is listed as Hegarty’s hotel. The village must have been a real hive of activity when one counts the number of large families and the variety of occupations.

    Just like yourself, Sean, Hanneke has done wonderful research. Let us hope that the highly educated young people of Donegal (and there are so many more in this generation) will be encouraged to undertake research, for postgrads or general interest, in the local area. Understanding what happened locally gives us a true perspective on the national story.

  2. Where is house 3 physically located in Culdaff? Thats my grandparents listed their, John and Ellen Mills.
    Thanks for your help and information.
