In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Newport / Foxhall townland (Puoryne Bryen).
Portryan is an area in Foxhall the exact boundaries of I’m
not 100% sure.
Wm. |
Lacy |
Mortagh |
McKeogh |
Loughlen |
Samuell |
Robert |
Hugles |
John |
Anglee |
Wm. |
McPhillip |
There was no 1666-7 return.
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 William Lacey. There are a mix of
names McKeogh & Huges are Gaelic names. Samuel I would imagine is an English
name allow the first name doesn’t seem English to me. John Anglee I’m not sure
about. It may be Anglesey / Anglesee. No Samuels in it.
There is also a Mc surname, likely to be descendants of
someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg in this case I think William
McPhilip may be William son of Philip O’Brien for example.
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 two Lacys – Malachy & Pat. The name is rare so
there may be a possibility of them being linked? There is also a Henry Lee, I
wonder could that be linked to Anglee?
The next available "Census" for the area is the
Tithe Appointment Books 1827.
There are no HMR surnames.
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).
There is a George Lacy on main street Newport. The only Lacy
in the 1835 census, I have included him as it is a rare surname on also in the
townland of Newport which this return partly covers.
Foxhall & Lackland
Capt. John O'Brien
Revd. Dr. John Penefather
Michael Hanrahan
Mary Foley
Patrick Kenedy
Michael Herbert
Patrick Thorns
Michael Gleeson
Thomas McMahon
Portryan
Thomas Wixted
Patrick Shinners
Michael Ryan (Gouge)
Patrick Collins
Newport Town – Main Street (only included as Lacy is such a
rare name)
George Lacy
In the later Griffiths valuation (see pictures); no HMR
surnames carry through.
There is a Malachy Lacy in Tullow though at this point.
The 1901 Census

No HMR names.
And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Foxhall/
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Newport/
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Main_Street/
Again no HMR names. I’m not convinced that Main Street
should be included here but I have left it in. There is a James Lacy as a head
of a family on Pound Street in Newport and I think with a bit more research it
could be possible to link him back to William Lacy of the Hearth Money Rolls.
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.
