Moycarkey is an electoral division in County Tipperary in Ireland. It was originally an electoral division in the Thurles Poor Law Union in North Tipperary〔(Abstract Return of Notices served on Relieving Officers of Poor Law Districts in Ireland, by Land-Owners under Act for Protection and Relief of Destitute Poor evicted from their Dwellings )〕〔(Papers relating to proceedings for relief of distress, and state of unions and workhouses in Ireland, 1849 )〕 but is still used for various administrative purposes. ==Extent of the electoral division== From the beginning, for reasons which are explained below, an electoral division which had the same name as a civil parish was not necessarily co-extensive with the civil parish. At the time of the 2011 census, the Moycarkey electoral division was co-extensive with the civil parish of the same name.〔(Small Area Population Statistics ) - zoom in on Moycarkey electoral division; a comparison of its outline with that of the civil parish shows they are same〕 However, this may not have been the case in 1848; the properties listed in a poor law rate document〔(Rate for the relief of the poor of Thurles union - Moycarkey, 10 Oct 1848 )〕 which is dated October 1948 and which seems to be about Moycarkey electoral division include several townlands that are not in Moycarky civil parish, specifically: *Cabra, Cloghmartin, Fertiana, Galbertstown (presumably either or both of Galbertstown Lower and Galbertstown Upper), all in Fertiana civil parish *Newtown in Ballymurreen civil parish. However, at the time of the 1911 census, the electoral division was co-extensive with the civil parish. The census returns for the division listed households〔(Census returns )〕〔(Townlands/Streets in Moycarky (Tipperary) )〕 exactly the townlands in the civil parish, showing that all of them except Smithsfarm which, probably because of its small size (just over 18 acres), did not contain any dwelling - indeed, none is shown on either (this Ordnance Survey map ) or (this one ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moycarkey (electoral division)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
