Talk:Kfar Uria

1922 + 1945 census
I cannot find it in the 1922 census, the other Jewish localities in the Sub-District of Jerusalem are easy to identify. It looks as if it was not an "official" place in 1922.

Nor can I find it in the 1945 census, and it even lists a tiny village like Khirbat Ism Allah (with 20 people, see p. 57). Cheers, Huldra (talk) 19:23, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

depopulation
I don't remember making that edit, but maybe I was going on the fact that there were 10 inhabitants recorded in the 1931 census. Looking again at the census table, I see that the inhabitants then were Muslim (6 male and 4 female). I added that information and won't remove the depopulated status.

 * Thanks. Glad we could sort that out. Cheers. -- Eliyahu S Talk 11:34, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

reported above that she couldn't find it in the 1922 census and the article gives no page number. Probably that's because she was looking in the Jerusalem Sub-District, but actually it was just over the border in the Ramle Sub-District. It is there as "Kfar Uria" on page 22 with 40 Jews. But on the previous page "Kafruria" is listed with 9 Muslim inhabitants. Presumably that's the nearby place mentioned in our article. I'm thinking that the "Kefar Urya" in the 1931 census, with its 10 Muslims in 2 houses, may be the same as Kafruria. "Kefar Urya" is also in the 1938 village statistics with 11 non-Jews, but land ownership is Jewish. In the 1945 village statistics (p29 in original), the estimated population is 20 Jews.

 * @Zero0000 I agree, your assumptions seem correct, and that paints a much clearer factual picture. Good work! -- Eliyahu S Talk 12:04, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
