Twomileborris (electoral Division)
Originally called Burris poor law electoral division, and sometimes called Borrisleigh in the past, this electoral division in County Tipperary in Ireland is now known as Twomileborris. Extent This electoral division comprises the townlands of Blackcastle, Borris, Clooncleagh, Leigh, Newhill and Noard. (The map of the division given the Central Statistics Office website does not include the two very small exclaves of Borris townland which are surrounded by Garraun townland. This is probably an error since, at the time provision was first made for the creation of divisions, the legislation, dated 15 March 1839, provided that townlands should not be divided between electoral divisions. In any event, the issue does not, at present, have practical consequences since, at present, there are no dwellings, and therefore no residents, in these two exclaves.) The division should not be confused with either the village of Twomileborris or the civil parish of Borrisleigh Two-Mile ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Electoral District
An electoral district, also known as an election district, legislative district, voting district, constituency, riding, ward, division, or (election) precinct is a subdivision of a larger state (a country, administrative region, or other polity) created to provide its population with representation in the larger state's legislative body. That body, or the state's constitution or a body established for that purpose, determines each district's boundaries and whether each will be represented by a single member or multiple members. Generally, only voters (''constituents'') who reside within the district are permitted to vote in an election held there. District representatives may be elected by a first-past-the-post system, a proportional representative system, or another voting method. They may be selected by a direct election under universal suffrage, an indirect election, or another form of suffrage. Terminology The names for electoral districts vary across countries and, ...

Littleton (electoral Division)
Littleton is an electoral division in County Tipperary in Ireland. The code number assigned it by the Central Statistics Office is 22071. Electoral divisions were originally created in the 1830s as part of the implementation of the Poor Laws. Neighbouring divisions, such as Moycarkey, Ballymurreen, Rahealty and Twomileborris were created to help elect the Board of Guardians for the Thurles poor law union; however Littleton division was not created at that time. When it was finally created (which must have been before 1911 because it was used in the census that year and was probably before the 1891 census because the 1911 returns compared the divisional population with that in 1891 and 1901, which would have been meaningless if the areas were different), it was assembled from townlands taken from neighbouring divisions. Relationship to civil parishes At the time of both the 1911 and the 2011 census, the division included townlands from several civil parishes: Galbooly, Ba ...
