The townland of Kilmalanophy was, in the census of 1851, located across the parishes of Enniskillen and Cleenish. On logainm.ie, at the time of writing (Meredith-1182 15:03, 8 March 2022 (UTC)), this was still the case.

A movement of many townlands in Fermanagh took place as far as can be determined around 1860. As with the majority of these townland movements the exact date is difficult to pin down but it appears to have started with the Church Temporalities Act 1833. Various drafts of this were rejected and the changes were still being made right up to 1869.

Church Temporalities Act

The reason behind the movements was to do with the tithes that the Church of Ireland received from the lands. In order to balance the priest's stipend townlands had to be moved into different parishes. The Roman Catholic priests were not in this system their 'salary' being paid by donations from the congregations, bequests etc.

At this time the split townland of Kilmalanophy appears to have been joined into one single townland and placed in Derryvullan parish.

This is easily determined by firstly the map referenced, OS Sheet 27 and secondly because the total area of Kilmalanophy now in Derryvullan parish is exactly the sum of the two areas above.

A comparison of the OS Map on logainm.ie Logainm and on Townlands.ie confirms again that this is exactly the same area of townland.

The details are the same in the 1901 census entry for Kilmalanophy
