In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Gortshane townland (Gortgane).
|
Garrett |
Barry |
|
John |
McDermtt |
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 Garrett Barry. I’m not sure of his
origin. Barry you would think is an Anglo-Norman name and their were Barrys buried
in Abington in medieval times. McDermtt could be the surname McDermott which
would be very rare in this rare or more likely to be descendants of someone
else rather than surnames in their own right eg John McDermott might actually
be John son of Dermott Ryan.
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 Michael Barry could be a descendant
of this Hearth Money Roll Barry.
There are no McDermotts or similar names in the 1776 census.
The next available "Census" for the area is the
Tithe Appointment Books 1827
No Barrys carry through in the townland.
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 1901 Census

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Kilcomenty/Gortshane_West/
No Hearth Money Roll names.
And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Kilcomenty/Gortshane_East/
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Kilcomenty/Gortshane_Middle/
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Kilcomenty/Gortshane_West/
So Hearth money roll names in either of the two census above
for the townland.
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.
