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?

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.

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)
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

O’Dwyers carry through.

And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Abington/Foilduff/
O’Dwyers carry through from HMR names.

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.
My own analysis of the rolls highlighting the Owney records.
