The name of my townland is Clonminch and my parish is Kilbride. I live in the barony of Ballycowan.
There are twenty families living in Clonminch and the population of Clonminch is 96. Gowan is the most common family name in my district. Most of the houses are tatched in Clonminch. There are four people over seventy living in Clonminch. None of the people in my district know Irish. The old people can tell stories in English.
There were more houses in Clonminch long ago than there are now.
