Hearth Money Rolls - Killoscully

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Killoscully townland (Killoscally).

Richard	Purcell
Rory	Glass
Teige	Glissane
James	Stritch
Mahowne	McPhillipe
Daniell	Glissane
Wm.	McDerby
John	Hallinane
Donnogh	Hallinane

There was no return for 1666-67.

Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression.

So we have Richard Purcell as the first name in this townland. Purcell is an Anglo-Norman name.

We have Glass whose origin isn’t certain, it could come from Green. We have two Gleesons and two Hallinans, both Gaelic Irish names. We also have Stritch which is an Anglo-Norman name with a particular density of numbers in Limerick. We then have McPhillippe and McDerby – both likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg Mahowne McPhillipe might actually be Mahowne (Matthew) son of Philip O’Mulryan.

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.

In this case there is a Honr. Stritch recorded in the Union of Kilnarath. There are numerous Gleesons, no Purcells or Hallinans that I can see. There are also a number of people surnamed “Green” in this census – could they be related to Glass?

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824

None of the Hearth Money Names appear.

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) but I haven’t been able to identify Killoscully townland in it.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), again no Hearth Money Rolls names are recorded.

The 1901 Census

And 1911 Census

So no names at all have carried through from the Hearth Money Rolls in this area.

I 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.
