Civil Survey Notes - Finnahy

 

In the Civil Survey the following are recorded in Finnahy.

Phillipp Ryan of Fynnighy

Owen Ryan of ye same Gent.

Simington in his Transplantation to Connacht records that an Owen Ryan of Finily is to be transplanted to Kilcummin in Galway.

They are no Owen Ryan’s in Penders Census in 1659.

 

In the Hearth Money Rolls for Finighy in 1665 is recorded

John Ryan

 

In 1666/7 for Finihy

John McConnor

Dermond Ryan

William McThomas Duffe

Donnogh McTeige

William Gradie

Donnogh Curry

Margarett Ny Henry

So no sign of Owen in Tipperary.

In the Griffiths Valuation for Kilcummin in Galway  there are no Ryans at all recorded.

There are a number of variations of Owen Ryan in the Hearth Money Rolls so we can’t even suppose that he ended up in another townland.

So we don’t know what happens to this Owen Ryan.

In the Tithe Applotment books there are a number of Ryans.

Ryans continued in this townland with significant rental holdings in the Griffiths Valuation. 

There are still some Ryan families in the townland in 1901

and in 1911

So this Owen Ryan seems to disappear out of the records but Ryans carry on in Finnahy.
