There was also a 1666-7 return as follows.
John McRory
Daniell Barry
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 Daniell Barry. In the 2nd return he
is recorded as having 2 hearths. He is likely to be of Anglo-Norman descent.
There are a mixture of surnames, Bourke, Sinnott, Humphry and possibly Gilbert
are also Anglo-Norman. Palmer is likely to be of English origin, Fraser and
Wimble? I’m not sure about.
There are a number of Gaelic names in the townland, Ryan, O’Meara,
McKeogh & Sheedy. There are also some Mc surnames, likely to be descendants
of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg John McWm might
actually be John Son of William Barry.
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.

No Gilbert, Fraser, Palmer, Sinott.
There are two Humphreys – Nicholas & William. With the
same first name there must be a good chance that they are linked?
There is a (Michael) Barry but that is a name that might be
more difficult to link together.
Bourke and the Gaelic surnames would be nearly impossible to
link together.
The next available "Census" for the area is the
Tithe Appointment Books 1827.
Only Ryans continue from the HMRs.
Clonbunny
Rossary
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). Clonbunny may be known by a different
name but Rossary Beg & More is likely covered.
Ryan being the only surname that carries through from the
HMR.
Rossarry & Mount Rivers
John Hogan
Michael White
Owen Hynes
David Lynch
Patrick Hogan
John Ryan (Tom)
Widow Hogan
Denis Moloney
John Magrath
John McMahon
Roger Farrell
John Moloney
John Griffan
Thomas O'Donnell
James Stack
Richard Philips Esq.
William O'Brien
Widow William Ryan
In the later Griffiths valuation (see pictures); again it is
only Ryan that carries through from the HMRs.
The 1901 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Newport/Clonbunny/
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Newport/Rossary_More/
Ryans are still in the townland and Bourke has reappeared
from the HMRs.
And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Clonbunny/
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Rossarymore/
Ryans are still recorded and again Bourkes. However it is
impossible to make any conclusive connection between these families and those
in the HMRs.
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.
