In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665
The following names were recorded in Clonbealy townland (Clonbally).
|
John |
Lane |
|
Edward |
Lane |
|
Donogh |
Mehane |
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 Lane. There is only one other
surname and that is Meehan, likely to be Gaelic in origin.
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 no Lanes but a number of possible variations on
Meehan, namely Mihane, Michane and maybe Milane (14).
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) but Clonbealy (Pound st) doesn’t seem to
feature
In the later Griffiths valuation (see pictures); no HMR
surnames carry through.
The 1901 Census

No HMR names.
And 1911 Census
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Newport/Clonbealy/
Again no HMR names. Meehans do continue in the greater area.
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.
