Hearth Money Rolls - Ballykinlalee

 


In the Hearth Money Rolls 1666-67
The following names were recorded in Ballykinlalee townlands (Ballikenielly).

Thomas

Winford

Kennedy

Bryan

Owen

McDonogh

William

McDermod

 

There was no return for 1665.

 

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

So in this case, Winford. Winford is likely to be of English origin. The rest of the surnames are likely to be of Gaelic origin ie O’Brien & Mc surnames. These are likely to be descendants of someone else rather than surnames in their own right eg William McDermod might actually be William son of Dermot O’Brien.

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 isn’t any Winford or variations in it.

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

No HMR names. (As an aside there is a Lauce Anglesee and I wonder could he be related to John Anglee of Newport / Foxhall Puoryne Bryen)

  

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 Ballykinalee is not recorded.

In the later Griffiths valuation (see picture), no HMR surnames.





The 1901 Census

And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Killoscully/Ballykinlalee/

No HMR names.

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.
