Place & story
Four inhabited houses in 1901
The original 1901 Cork census records seventeen residents in Ballyvoige: six males and eleven females. Its four houses were all inhabited. The townland appears under Knocks electoral division, Desertserges parish and Clonakilty Union. The comparative columns give thirty-five residents in five houses in 1881 and twenty-two residents in four houses in 1891. This is the Ballyvoige in eastern East Carbery, separate from Ballyvoge in the Macroom district. [2]
