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 ri...

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 Ti...

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 townland...

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. ht...

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...
