In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Tullow townland (Hills / Towloe).
One of the locations in the Hearth Money Rolls is simply
recorded as “Hills” however, from the duplicate names that are common to this
location and Towloe, then I’m pretty much certain they are the same area which
corresponds to Tullow.

Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most
important landowner. At least that is my impression.
So in this case we have Captain Henry Shrempton. He is
definitely an English settler and acquired 1902 acres in the area.
There is a large number of people recorded over the two
lists. Many are duplicates however.
Other likely English settlers listed include Cooke, Wixted,
Harden, Nash & Taylor. McDonnell is more than likely from the Scottish /
Irish clan. There are a few surnames that I am unsure of their origin – Garner,
Lane, are inconclusive. There is also the Anglo-Norman name Fanning.
The rest are likely to be Gaelic in origin and include Ryan,
Kelly, Cullen, Murphy, McLoughlin, O’Connell, O’Donoghue, O’Brien, O’Meara?,
O’Mahony, Casey, Maughan & Kearney. There are also some Mc surnames, likely
to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg Connor
McOwen might actually be Connor son of Owen Ryan.
Marchie I can’t transliterate to a modern surname.
In the 1666-7 return Thomas Cooke lives up to his name,
owning an Oven. Lawrence Fanning also owns an Oven.
There is the 1766 census available for the general area but
unless someone has a very distinct surname it is nearly impossible to make any
kind of connection.

I can’t go into all the names in this but it is interesting
to see Shrempton is no longer recorded in the area.
The next available "Census" for the area is the
Tithe Appointment Books 1827.
Custom Gap seems to be the rough area that corresponds to
Tullow. There may be others that I’m not aware of.
In Custom Gap, the surnames Casey, Ryan, Cullen, Donnell (is
that McDonnell?) & O’Brien continue from the Hearth Money Rolls.
There is also an 1835 census available for the Parishes of
Newport and Birdhill (transcribed by Hugh Sweeney of Newport Historical &
Archaeological Society in Newport News).
The is a very detailed number of people recorded;
However it again it is difficult to be sure what corresponds
to the “Towloe” of the 1660s.
It is likely that parts of the following make it up
Cork Road Street
Pound Street & Clonbealy
Bloomfield & Custom Gap
Racepark, Brierfield & Lahane
From reviewing them we find names that continue from the
Hearth Money Rolls including Ryan, O’Brien, O’Connell, O’Meara, Casey &
McDonnell.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see pictures); Ryan,
Cullen, McDonnell, O’Brien, Casey, Wixted, Kelly & Connell continue from
the Hearth Money Rolls.
Of those names it is Wixted that is probably the one that
you could argue strongly that has carried through from the Hearth Money Rolls,
Cullen & McDonnell are another two that you could argue for to a degree,
Kelly, Casey & Connell are sufficiently rare to at least do further
research on. Ryan and O’Brien would be more difficult to be sure of.
The 1901 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Newport/Tullow/
Cullen, Kelly & Ryan are listed.
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Newport/Tallow_Main_Street/
Wixted & Ryan are listed.
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Newport/Cork_Road/
Connell, Ryan, O’Meara & Cullen are listed.
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Newport/Pound_Street/
Ryan & Wixted are listed.
As I said in the the Griffiths commentary; Cullen, Kelly
& Wixted you could have a relatively strong case for. Connell definitely
worth reviewing. Ryan and perhaps O’Meara I’d be less sure about.
And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Tullow/
Ryan listed.
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Cork_Road/
O’Connell, Ryan, Kelly, Cullen, O’Meara are listed.
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Pound_Street/
Ryan & Wixted are listed.
The large amount of names and difficulty of figuring out
which streets made up Tullow in this townland have made it difficult to work
with. As such I can only regard this as a draft and I’m am open to any help /
comments.
Cullen, Wixted & Kelly are three relatively rare
surnames that survive from the Hearth Money Rolls up to the 1911 census in the
townland. O’Connell & O’Meara also continue but would be less rare.
As a later exercise will also try and look at the Civil
Survey – Transplantation records – Hearth Money Rolls but I think I will keep
that as a separate exercise.
My own analysis of the rolls highlighting the Owney records.
