    My District
    There are 60 houses in Ballyconnell. There are none of them seperated. There are about three hundred people in Ballyconnell. The houses are slated. Ballyconnell got its name because it is the mouth of Connells ford. Some say he was buired in Colonel Roe's domain. Other people say he was buired in Ballyheady Mountain. The biggest house in the town is the Ulster Bank. The commonest name in the town is Reilly. There are 11 grocer shops, 5 sweet shops, and 11 public houses in the town.
