Hearth Money Rolls - Clonygaheen

 


In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Clonygaheen townlands (Cloanygwilmn).

John

Meagher

Rory

Ryane

 

There was no return for 1666-67.

 

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

So in this case, Meagher. However when there are only two surnames they may both be fairly important.

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 are at least 224 Ryans in the census. There are 3 Mahers and 9 Mahirs.

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

There is a number of Ryans recorded. No Rory’s or variations of same.   

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 Cloneygaheen is not recorded.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), there are again plenty of Ryans. However nothing that can be conclusively linked to the HMR.




The 1901 Census

And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Greenhall/Clonygaheen/

There are Ryans recorded in both. However nothing that can be conclusively linked to the HMR.

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.


My own analysis of the rolls highlighting the Owney records.
