Hearth Money Rolls - Farneigh

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665

The following names were recorded in Farneigh townlands (Farneigh & Killyn).

Wm.	McMorrogh
Donnogh	O'Tuohir
Derby	O'Tuohir
Connor	O'Tuohy

 

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, Willam McMorrogh. The next three surnames are variations on Tuohy. The only example of this in the HMRs of the half-barony of Owney. McMorrogh is a Mc surnames, likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg William McMorrogh might actually be William son of Morrogh Tuohy.

 

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.

In this case we do have 5 Toohys, James, Patrick, Denis, Pat & Derby.

We previously had a Derby O’Tuohir in the HMR.

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

No HMR surnames recorded unfortunately.

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 Farneigh is not recorded.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), no HMR names unfortunately again.

The 1901 Census

And 1911 Census

Unfortunately no HMR surnames which is a pity as Tuohy is a relatively rare name in the half-barony.

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.
