Hearth Money Rolls for Oakhampton & Foidarrig

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665

The following names were recorded in Oakhampton townland (Culvack / Cullevacke & Hailderrigh).

 

Morrogh	Bryen
Owen	Ryane
Donnogh	Bryen
Wm.	Cabby
Donnogh	Bryen

 

In the 1666-67 return the following were noted.

Donnogh	Bryan
Morrogh	Bryan
Owen	Ryan
William	Cably
Daniell	McRorye
Katherine	Ny Tane

 

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 a Gaelic dominated townland with O’Briens as main landowners. There is also a Ryan, and a Cabby / Cably, I’m not sure about the origin of that name. There is also a Mc surname, likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg Daniel McRory might actually be John son of Daniel son of Rory O’Brien or Ryan. There is also a female recorded in a Katherine Ny Tane. I’m not sure about this surname, in the Arra area one of the few women was also a Ne Tane. Is that a coincidence or is Tane referring to something else rather than a surname.

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.

There doesn’t appear to be anyone that could be connected in this census conclusively.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1827

https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?county=Tipperary&parish=Kilnarath&townland=Oakhampton&search=Search

There are O’Briens and Ryans but nothing conclusive.

Foidarrig is also included in the 2nd return and so we look at that here.

https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?county=Tipperary&parish=Kilnarath&townland=Foddarag&search=Search

There are some Ryans but nothing conclusive.

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).

There are O’Briens and Ryans but nothing conclusive.

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Kilcomenty/Foildarrig/

There are Ryan heads of families in them.

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Kilcomenty/Foildarrig/

 

So although the Ryan name carries down to the 1901 / 1911, unfortunately it is too common a name to connect it back to the HMRs. Similarily O’Brien carries down to the Griffiths Valuation but it is impossible to make a definite connection.

Hearth Money Rolls - Kilmacogue

 

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1666-7
The following names were recorded in Kilmacogue townland (KillmcQuarke).

William               Rian

John                    Rian

There was no return for 1665.

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 a Ryan dominated townland with William & John Ryan. In 1572 the lands were granted in Kilmacogue to a Henry O’Mulryan (Ormond Deeds, Vol. 5 pgs 218-219).

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.

https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tipperary/census/1766-rel-cens/newport.htm

There are at least 224 Ryans in the census.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1827

 

https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?county=Tipperary&parish=Kilnarath&townland=Kulinaguague&search=Search

In this there is a Catherine Ryan and a Tim Ryan ‘Tim’

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).

We do have a John Ryan and Timothy Ryan. Unfortunately the names are just too common to be able to make a connection.

John Meehan

William Meehan

William Dohoney

William Hogan

William Callahan

Jeremiah Driscol

John Ryan

 

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), a John Ryan (Black) is listed.

The 1901 Census

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Killoscully/Kilmacogue/

No Ryans.

And 1911 Census https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Killoscully/Kilmacogue/821747/

There is a Philip Ryan who is listed as a servant.

So although the Ryan name carries down to the Griffiths Valuation, unfortunately it is too common a name to connect it back to the HMRs.

Hearth Money Rolls - Foilduff & Coonmore

 

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Foilduff & Coonmore townland (Fallduff & Fallduffe & Cowenmore).

Arte	McQuied
Adam	McQuied
Donnogh	McHenry
Feilim	McQuied
James	McQuied

 

The 1666-7 return is for Foilduff & Coonmore.

None	McQuaid
Charles	McQuaine
Connor	O'Dower
4 names ineligible
Felim	Reagh
Connor	McQuade
Dermoot	Glesane
Dermott	McRory
Don	McJury
Anthony	Rian

 

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

So in this case an Arte McQuaid & a “None” McQuaid. In total there are 7 McQuaids between the two townlands.  

We previously looked at Coonmore townland for 1665 in a separate post and there were no McQuaids listed there in 1665 so it is therefore likely that they were all in Foilduff.  Reigh & Gleeson are the only two names that are common to the Coonmore return and the shared Foilduff & Coonmore return.

Getting back to the McQuaids, it is very much an Ulster name so how it arrived here we are not sure. Could it be anything to do with the Ultachs?

https://thetipperaryantiquarian.blogspot.com/2017/10/the-ultachs-of-slieve-felims.html

Some of the other surnames are also unusual such as McHenry, McRory & McJury. The Mc surnames, they are likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg Dermot McRory might actually be Dermot son of Rory O’Mulryan.

Other surnames in the townland include O’Dwyer and Ryan. There were also 4 names that couldn’t be read in the townland.

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.

https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tipperary/census/1766-rel-cens/newport.html

There aren’t any distinctive surnames in the 1766 survey that correspond. There is just 1 Anthony Ryan in the 1766 census.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1826 (it is actually included in Limerick)

https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?county=Limerick&parish=Abington&townland=Foyleduff%20Rons&search=Search

Unfortunately none of the distinctive HMR names appear.  There is a John Ryan in 1826.

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 Foilduff / Coonmore isn’t in it.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), unfortunately none of the distinctive surnames carry on from the HMR. There are Ryan’s but it is too common a surname in this area to really make any connections. There is an Jeremiah O’Dwyer, could he connected to the HMR Connor O’Dwyer?  

The 1901 Census

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Arington/Foilduff/

O’Dwyers carry through.

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Arington/Foilduff__Jackson_/

And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Abington/Foilduff/

O’Dwyers carry through from HMR names.

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Abington/Foilduff__Jackson_/

This townland started off with the very interesting surname McQuaid but they don’t appear in the townland later on at all. The possible O’Dwyer link I’m not sure about, the townland is close to Kilnamanagh where it would be a very common surname. Still two interesting questions in it.

Hearth Money Rolls - Coonmore

 

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

Phillip	Ryane
Derby	Glissane
Feilim	Riegh
Dermtt	Ryane
Patrick	McLosgane

 

There was no return for 1666-7.

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 one of only 4 possible Ryans as the head landowner in the townland, namely Philip Ryan. 

It seems to be a Gaelic dominated townland with Gleeson, another Ryan and two surnames I’m not completely sure of Reigh and McLosgane. There was a Reigh recorded in the HMRs in Castletown in Arra.  I’m not sure of Mc Losgane, it could even be McLoughlin.

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.

https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tipperary/census/1766-rel-cens/newport.html

There aren’t any distinctive surnames in the 1766 survey that correspond. There are 2 Phil Ryans and 1 Philip Ryan.  

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1826 (it is actually included in Limerick)

https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?county=Limerick&parish=Abington&townland=Connemore&search=Search

 

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 Coonmore isn’t in it.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), unfortunately none of the surnames carry on from the HMR.

The 1901 Census

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Arington/Coonmore/

There are two Ryans but both listed as servants. No other HMRs surnames. 

And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Abington/Coonmore/

Again a few Ryans but listed as servants. No other HMRs surnames. 

This townland started off with a Ryan as the main landowner but they seem to have been replaced by possibly Careys and Caplis’s.

Hearth Money Rolls - Ballyhourigan

 

 

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Ballyhourigan townlands (Ballyorgan / Ballyrugan).

Edmond	Ryane
Thomas	Jones
Derby	McConnor

 

There was also a return for 1666-67.

Edmund              Ryan

Richard               Wilkinson

Dermott              McConnor

Teige                   McShane

Teige                   O'Meharigh

Connor               McShane

Thomas               Joynes

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 one of only 4 possible Ryans (in the HMR in Owney) as the head landowner in the townland, namely Edmond Ryan.  In 1665 & 1666-7 we also have Jones could be an early Anglo-Norman name or a later English Settler name. Wilkinson could also be an English settler name.

The rest of the names are likely to be Gaelic in origin, the Mc surnames, they are likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg Dermot McConnor might actually be Dermot son of Connor O’Mulryan. There is also O’Meharigh which I think may be O’Meara.

In 1691 during Sarsfields Ride, local folklore records that Sarsfield and his men camped in Ballyhourigan. It is said that

Extract from Lenihan's "Limerick and its Antiquities" pg 232

"The party passed on through Morrisey's Bogs and continued on their route through Killoskully, until they reached Keeper Hill, where in the fastnesses of the mountain, they encamped for the night, and where, among many others, Sarsfield it is said was visited by one of the old O'Ryans of that country, who offered him hospitality.”

I wonder could that have been Edmond or one of his relatives?

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.

https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tipperary/census/1766-rel-cens/newport.htm

There are 4 O’Mearas in this census. There are at least 224 Ryans in the census. No Wilkinsons or Jones.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1827

https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?county=Tipperary&parish=Killoscully&townland=Ballyhourigan&search=Search

There is only one name recorded here and that is Bloomfield.

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 Ballyhourigan is not recorded.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), there are only entries. However 5 of them are names from the HMRs which is positive.

Most interesting and exciting is Thadeus Mara (Timothy or Teige O’Meara), he must surely be a descendant of Teige O’Meharigh from 1666-7.

The other surname is Ryan with 3 Michaels and a James Ryan. Further research would be required to see if they are 3 separate Michaels. However as the surname is so populous it would be difficult to really attribute a link back to Edmond Ryan in the HMRs.

The 1901 Census

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Killoscully/Ballyhourigan/

We have another Timothy O’Meara, son of the head of the family here and a Patrick Ryan who is head of the family. I’d be happy to say that the O’Meara family are descended from the HMR person that is recorded.

And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Killoscully/Ballyhourigan/

The same two families are recorded again.

As above I’d be happy to say that O’Mearas were in Ballyhourigan since 1666-7. So if you are an O’Meara descended from this townland this will push back your family tree.

The Ryan link is less certain but definitely worth further research.

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.

Hearth Money Rolls - Cragg

 

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Cragg townlands (Cragyvilla / Graige).

Patk	Britt
John	Stombles
Connor	Hourokane
Daniell	Heine
Connor	McWilliam
Morrish	Hicky
Dermott	Hefernane
Mleaghlin	McWilliam

There was also a return for 1666-67.

Illegible
Connor	McWilliam
William	Bourke
Donnogh	McJames
Owen	Ryan
Mloghlin	Ryan
John	Ryan
Thomas	Ryan
Daniell	Heine
Owny	Ny Teige
John	McDermod
Daniell	Hifferane
John	McHavie
Maurice	Hickey
John	Ryan
Connor	Diviricke
John	Diviricke
Daniell	Mahane

 

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

So we have Patrick Brett and I’m not sure of the exact origin of the surname. Some were Anglo-Norman and they seem to be numerous in South-east Mayo. In the 1666-67 return the first record name is illegible so we don’t know if it was also Patrick Brett.

There are 42 records for the townland of which approximately 34 are different individuals (there are some duplicates). So a lot of info to deal with.

Stombles / Stumbles is likely to be an English settler name.  Winford is likely to be the same. Daniel and Prasgie I’m not sure about. Also Heine could be Hynes or could be of English origin.

The rest though I think are Gaelic and include Hourigan, Hickey, Hefferan, O’Regan, Quinlisk, Meehane, Durack, McKeogh & Ryan. There is also O’Haly which could be a number of different surnames but sounds Gaelic. Bourke is old Anglo-Norman

There are a lot of Mc surnames, they are likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg Owen McDonnogh might actually be Owen son of Donnogh O’Mulryan. There are also Oge surnames which again are likely to be son of someone in the townland.

There are at least 5 Ryans in the townland.

There is also the unusual Owny Ny Teige. I have seen Onnor listed in the various Hearth Money Rolls and I wonder could it be a variant of that? Onnor Daughter of Teige?

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.

https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tipperary/census/1766-rel-cens/newport.htm

There are 5 Mihanes which would be a version of Meehan. There are at least 224 Ryans in the census. There are Hourigans, Hickeys, Heffernans, McDonagh, Duricks & Bourkes. There is also a Daniel which would be a relatively rare surname.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1834

https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?county=Tipperary&parish=Kilcomenty&townland=Craggwhite&search=Search

We do have a lot of Hearth Money Roll names continuing, Bourke, Ryan, could O’Haly being O’Daly which does feature? & McKeogh.

In terms of the Ryans, there is a Thomas & John Ryan. Neither would be very rare first names. So nothing concrete in these surnames.

 

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) & Cragg is recorded.

Lots of Ryans (one interestingly nickname is Ryan (Owen), anything to do with the Owen Ryan listed in the HMR). There are Meehans, McKeoghs, Bourkes, McDonoughs & Hourigan.

O’Hara & Daly could relate to O’Haly in the HMRs. Hourigan is interesting as there is only one listed in the townland. Could Judy Hourigan be connected to Connor Hourigan in the HMRs?

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), there is a huge drop off in the amount of people recorded in the townland with only 9 people being recorded in the townland in comparison to almost 100 (heads of families) in 1835.

The 1901 Census

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Kilcomenty/Cragg/

And 1911 Census

There are no Ryans in 1901 but a Ryan Head of Family does reappear in 1911 in the townland.

There seems to be some hidden Ryans again in this townland with Mc surnames. The drop-off in names here presumably post the famine is huge.

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.

Hearth Money Rolls - Ballinahinch

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1666-7
The following names were recorded in Ballinahinch townland (Ballinehinchie).

 

Mloghlin	Hryane
Connor	McDaniell
Teige	McDaniell
James	Rian
Edmund	McMorogh
Daniell	McMorogh
Owen	Ryan
Dermod	McDonogh
Daniell	McCullane
A poore widdow
Patrick	McCowell

 

There was no return for 1665.

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

So we have Mloghlin Hryane as the first name in this townland. I’m not 100% sure of the surname but could it be a mis transcribed Ryan? If it is then this may be a very Ryan dominated townland. Mloghlin is modernised as Malachy.

There are a number of Mc surnames. As in other examples it is possible that they are sons or descendants of others in the townland, for example Connor McDanniell could be Connor son of Daniel Ryan in the townland or nearby.

So it is possible that you could have had a number of “hidden” Ryans in the townland. I think the area is called Ballynyhensy in the Civil Survey. Half a ploughland of it is owned by Edmond Ryan Gent.

¾ of a ploughland is then listed as Killinenanoffe and Ballynyhensy and lists Teige O’Bryen of Kilmcstully Gent, Teige Ryan of Killynanoffe, Charles Ryan of Killynanoffe, John Ryan of Killynaoffe, Harry Ryan of Killynanoffe and another Teige Ryan of Killynanoffe. Intriguingly at Tonetiry there is a Morrogh Ryan of Ballynoe listed. Tonetiry / Ballynoe might be around the Ballyard area to the north east of Cragg. (It is described as being to the east of Cragg in the Civil Survey). This Tonetiry / Ballynoe / Ballyard is almost bordering the modern Ballinahinch townland. Could Edmund & Daniel McMorrogh be this Morrogh Ryan of his sons?  According to the Civil Survey there is only one Morrogh Ryan listed in 1654-1656.

There is one definite Ryan and this is an Owen Ryan. There is also a McCowell and he is listed as owning an oven and so must have been a baker. A bakery would also suggest a built up area / market or at least an attempt to start one. There was another McCowell in Birdhill in the Hearth Money Rolls and I wasn’t sure if the surname was possibly of English origin or not. There is a McCullan which could be the surname Cullen and also a McDonagh. There is also a “poore widow” listed. One of only a few women listed.

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.

https://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/tipperary/census/1766-rel-cens/newport.html

There aren’t any distinctive surnames except maybe McCowell and this doesn’t feature.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1834

 

https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?county=Tipperary&parish=Kilcomenty&townland=Ballinahinch&search=Search

 

https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?county=Tipperary&parish=Kilcomenty&townland=Ballinahinchgoing&search=Search

There are Ryans but really in this case it is nearly impossible to link back unless maybe there was a Malachy.

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 don’t think Ballinahinch is in it.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), again it is hard to link any Ryans but interestingly there is one Malachy Ryan in the townland (the only in the Parish). There are 23 in Owney & Arra so it isn’t that rare a first name.

The 1901 Census

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Birdhill/Ballynahinch/

And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Birohill/Ballynahinch/

There are some Ryans but no way to link them to the Hearth Money Rolls in this area. No other surnames carry through.

None the less a very interesting townland, particularly with the possible "hidden" Ryans and the link back to Morrogh Ryan of Ballynow.
