Teevinish

Do the ghosts of the past stay on the land.  Tha day we drove through Teevinish, the townlands that the Earl of Sligo sought to rid of tenents from 1857 on, our GPS went kooky.  It sent us on a wild ride and only hours of fiddling finally returned it to normal.

Teevnish is in Aghagower civil parish.  Between 1841 and 1851 the population of the parish nearly halved, from 12235 to 6509. Males and females in both years were nearly equal and the number of families went from 2292 to 1303.  In 1841 nearly 52% of the families were in 4th class houses.  In 1851 that had shrunk to only 13.5%.  84.8% of heads of household in agriculture fell to 75.4%.  Like much of Mayo, the literacy rate was very low.  Just 14.8 percent of men and 4.1% of women could read and write in 1841.  In 1851 the numbers were 24.6% and 8.4%.
