Hearth Money Rolls - Scraggeen

 

In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Scraggeen townland (Gortnonow / Gortnanowe ).

Gortnanoe is an area within the townland of Scraggeen.

Donnogh	Kelly
Mahowne	McTeige
Jokn	Marcane
Danniell	Hicky

 

There was also a 1666-7 return as follows.

Donnogh	Kelly
John	McConnor
Mahon	McTeige
Nicholas	Humphrey
Daniell	McTeige
Teige	McHenry
Kenedy	Bryan
Teige	McDaniell
Donogh	O'Donogh
Donogh	Cartye

 

 

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 Donagh Kelly. The rest are mainly Gaelic surnames with Hickey, O’Brien, O’Donoghue and possibly McCarthy. Humphry may be of Anglo-Norman origin and interestingly there is a Nicholas Humphry recorded in Clonbunny & Rossary More & Rossary Beg (above). There are also some Mc surnames, likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg in this case I think Daniell McTeige may be the same as Daniel Hickey in the 1665 return. If that is the case then we can probably say that he is Daniell Hickey son of Teige Hickey (and that allows you to push things back one further generation here.

Jokn Marcane may be John McConnor in the 2nd list.

 

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 Humphreys – Nicholas & William. With the same first name there must be a good chance that they are linked?

The Gaelic surnames would be nearly impossible to link together. However one of interest is Carty / McCarthy. The 1766 census has a Philip Carty in it.

There are 5 Hickeys in the Census including a Daniel Hickey.

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

It only features one person and its not a HMR name.

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 are no HMR names.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see pictures); no HMR surnames carry through.

The 1901 Census

https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Newport/Scraggeen/

No HMR names.

And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Scraggeen/

Again no HMR names. In a way this shows just how rare it is when surnames do carry down through the various records from 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.
