  Corbally The following are recorded in the Civil Survey for Corbally Daniell O Bryen of Clonibryen Gent Bryen O Bryen of the same gt. Connor O Bryen of the same gt. Teige O Bryen of the same gt. It seems to be linked in with Cloneybrien. In the Hearth Money Rolls there is a Brian O’Bryan. However that seems to be a very common O’Brien name. In the previous analyses for the townland in the Hearth Money Rolls – we do find that the O’Brien name just about survives in the townland down to the 1911 Census. Whether there is any link we will probably never be able to confirm. https://thetipperaryantiquarian.blogspot.com/2025/03/hearth-money-rolls-corbally.html

  In the Hearth Money Rolls 1666-67 (There isn’t a 1665 return.) The following names were recorded in Corbally townland (Corbally). Recorded are Bryan O'Bryan John O'Minoge Rory Flanory William Biren Miles Bourke William McMahooney Mort Ne Donogh 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 Brian O’Brien as the main landowner. We also have Minogue, Flannery, Byrne, Bourke & McMahon. They all seem fairly straight forward and with exception of Bourke would be all Gaelic. Bourke would be early Anglo-Norman in origin. Mort Ne Donogh is very interesting. Ne Donogh would suggest a woman but Mort isn’t a woman’s name. So either Mort is incorrect or else the Ne part is incorrect. The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824 – I only have a scan of this from the Mikie Joy archive.

  Castlecrannagh The following were recorded in the Civil Survey in Castlecrannagh John Roch of Killnacrannagh Gent In Crannagh we find Richard late Earle of Corke These are adjacent townlands so we will deal with them together. John Roch of Cranagh He is an Irish Papist. Joch Roch is also listed in Kilmcstully with the following description. “The sd John Roch Proprietor of one pld In Kilmcstully in fee by Descent from his ffather Thomas Roch. who purchased the same from Kenedy mcMahowne Inheritor thereof about the yeare 1610 (as wee are informed).“ In Crannagh he is listed as follows “The sd John Roch Proprietor  in fee by purches of his Rather Thomas Roch (as wee are informed) from Teige mc. Therlagh Duffe of the sd. pid of Killnacranagh long before the Rebellion.” Next we find him listed for transplantation to Connacht in Simington’s Transplanation to Connacht. He was to be transplanted to the Barony of Ballymoe and the parish of Templetogher. There are 4 Roches listed in t...

  In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665 The following names were recorded in Castlecranna townland (Castlecrannagh). Alex         Ovington William Cormuck   James     Mullane There is no 1666/67 return. Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression. Ovington is likely to be a surname related to an English Settler. McCormuck / Cormican and Mullane would be Gaelic surnames. The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1826 https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?surname=&firstname=&county=Tipperary&townland=Castle+Cranna&parish=Kilmastulla&search=Search&sort=&pageSize=&pager.offset=0 https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?county=Tipperary&parish=Kilmastulla&townland=Castlecranna&search=Search Unfortunately none of the Hearth Money Roll na...

  Gortmore In the Civil Survey for Gortmore the following are recorded Dermott O Bryen of  Gortmore Gent Mathew O Bryen of Gortmore Gent Knockaneneglasny seems to form part of the modern townland of Gortmore and in that are recorded Downe mc Donogh Bryen of Knockaneneglasny Gent. Morthogh Bryen of the same Gent Dermot O Bryen of Gortmore Gent. Teige Bryen of Carriggall Gent & Donogh O Bryen of Carriggall Similarly Knockanecreegh seems to form part of the modern townland of Gortmore and there is recorded. Teige O Bryen of Cariggall Gent Mathew Bryen of Carriggall Gent Therlagh Bryen of Carriggall Gent Donogh Bryen of Carriggal Gent This record also mentions that Donogh Bryen's father was a Daniel Bryen.  There is another record that seems to form part of modern Gortmore – namely Toburteriffe. Connor O Bryen of Knockane Esqr Mortagh O Bryen of Toburteriffe Donogh O Bryen of Toburteriffe Doune McDonogh of Knockaneneglasny Dermott O Bryen of Gortmore & Teige Bryen of ...

  In the Hearth Money Rolls 1666-67 The following names were recorded in Gortmore townland (Gortmore). (There was no return for 1665) Dermott O'Bryan Wm. McIncroid Dermod Gleessane Teige O'Hickey John Roch Bryan O'Bryan Mahony Bane Daniell McBryan Hugh O'Flahortye Bryan Cormockane There is also a record for a location – Tober. I think this maybe Toberterife which was located within the townland of Gortmore so we will include those here also. Daniell O'Thoidy Gully Kully O'Hickey Don Cammane Thurloe Bryan Don O'Reyan There is also a record for a location – Crockanaghessie. I think this maybe  Knockaneneglasney  which was located within the townland of Gortmore so we will include those here also.   Daniell O'Bryan Bryan O'Bryan Mortagh McTeige Connor Cormockane Bryan O'Bryan   Beside Crockanaghessie was Crockancrigille. I think was Knockanecreegh and this was also located within the townland of Gortmore. Morrish Hogane Bryan O'Bryan Thurloe Bry...

  Carrigmadden The following are recorded as landowners in the Civil Survey Richard late Earle of Corke Loghlen O Hogan of Gortaschehy gt. Morrogh O Bryen of Glassybriddy gent Therlagh Bryen of Belline Gent Donogh Bryen of Bellanaha Esqr. In the Hearth Money Rolls we do find a Terlagh Bryen living in Carrigmadden. However if was “of Belline” in the Civil Survey this lessens the chance of it being the same person. For more on the later records see the below link. https://thetipperaryantiquarian.blogspot.com/2025/03/hearth-money-rolls-carrigmadden.html We do find some Hogans in later records but no O’Briens or variants.

  In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665 The following names were recorded in Carrigmadden townland (Carrigmudin / Carrigmudeene). Donnogh Hogane Terlagh   Bryen James     Moylane Wm         McJohn In the 1666-1667 add-in / additional report the following are recorded. James     Moylane Downe   Hogane Patrick    White William   McShane Teige       Hogane John        Oge William   Stephens Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression. Donnogh Hogan is first in 1665 and I presume that is him listed as Downe Hogane in 1666-67. James Moylan is listed first in 1667-67 and 3rd in 1665. In 1665 we have Wm McJohn and I think this may be William McShane in 1666-67. Shane / Shaun can be interchangeable with Séan / John. So based on these names some of the more important landowners are G...

  Curraghtemple In the Civil Survey the following are recorded Mortagh O Bryen of Kilcolman John O Hogan of Curraghtemple gt. Donogh O Hogan of Curraghtemple gt. Donogh O Hogan of Bellarussin gt.   None of these names continue in the Hearth Money Rolls but we do have a Transplantation decree that is relevant. A John Hogan is listed to be transplanted from Curraghtemple to Ballymoe Barony and the parish of Boyounagh in Simington’s Transplantation to Connacht. There are no Hogans recorded in this townland in the Griffiths Valuation. Although we compared the Hearth Money Rolls with later records for this townland. https://thetipperaryantiquarian.blogspot.com/2025/03/hearth-money-rolls-curraghtemple.html   We didn’t compare them with the Civil Survey. In the Griffiths Valuation we do find a John Hogan living in Curraghtemple in the 1840s but not in any records after that. There is also an O’Brien in the townland in the 1840s. https://titheapplotmen...

  In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665 The following names were recorded in Curraghtemple townland (Curraghtemple). John Lambfry Donnogh O'Curmuk Patrick White   Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression. John Lambfry is the first name and to me it looks to be a name of English origin. Next we have Donnogh O’Curmuk and this seems to come from the McCormack / Cormican surname. Lastly we have Patrick White, this name could be English or could be an Anglicisation of Bán. The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824 – the townland is wrongly listed as Curraghtanfill.   https://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?surname=&firstname=&county=Tipperary&townland=Curraghtanfill&parish=Youghalarra&search=Search&sort=&pageSize=&pager.offset=0   None of the Hearth Money Rolls names survive. Similarily, in the later Griffiths v...

Coat of Arms at the entrance to Killoskehane Castle today.  We have seen previously that Onnor MacIBrien married to Lewis Walsh and her sister Slaney MacIBrien married to Teige O'Brien of Thomond were both scheduled for transplantation to Connacht as a result of the 1641 rebellion.  https://thetipperaryantiquarian.blogspot.com/2025/03/civil-survey-notes-monroe.html However their sister More / Maura MacIBrien was also scheduled for transplantation! More or Maura was married to James Butler of Killoskehane between Borrisoleigh and Templemore.  He owned a tower-house there which is still standing as part of the impressive Killoskehane Castle. https://www.killoskehane.com/ Their son Theobald Butler is listed as owning it in the Civil Survey.  If this is correct about Theobald Butler - it may explain how the rebellious MacIBrien Sisters got involved in the rebellion.  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Butler-8984 It states that this Theobald Butler was involved in the 16...

Carrigatogher The following are recorded in the Civil Survey Lewes Walsh of Thurles Esqr Richard Leonard of Lymicke shoo m Although now owned by Walsh, this suggests that it was originally lands owned by the MacIBriens “The sd Lewes Wailsh pprictor in fee in Right of his Wife Onora of a third pte of the sd. three raids, and of the other two third ptes pprictor an fee by purchas long before the Rebellion from Margarett & More Bryen Sisters to the said Onora (as wee are informed) Of wch. three plds one pld & the Castle stands mortgadged unto Richard Lennard of the Citty of Lymicke Sheoo maker (as wee are informed)” In the Hearth Money Rolls we have a record for Edmund Welsh Esq. who I think must be a son of Lewes Walsh and Onor Walsh (nee MacIBrien).   Lewis Walsh m Onora Byren of Castletown Likely Sons –Patrick Walsh of Pallas (HMR) – Edmond Walsh of Carrigatoher Esqr (HMR) – possibly James Walsh of Castletown (HMR) We see in my other analyses of the Hearth M...

  In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665 The following names were recorded in Carrigatogher townland (Carrigatohir). Edm. Walsh Esq Teige Hogane By rights that should be it for Carrigatogher, however from analysing the returns I found an entry with “Townland illegible” in the 1666-7 return. That seems to be from when Laffan was transcribing the returns in 1911 and the first person named in that entry is Edmund Welsh Esq So I think that this illegible townland is Carrigatogher – the 2nd entry is also Teige Hogane so I am fairly certain. So this entry in total is Edmund Welsh Esq. Teige O'Hogane Edward O'Hogane Dermott O'Hogane William Glissane Teige O'Heidhie James Butler John Powre Teige Carroll Donnogh Hogane Generally the first name in a townland seems to be the most important landowner. At least that is my impression and seems to be confirmed here. In this case in the 2nd return Edmund Welsh Esq is recorded as having 5 fireplaces. Edmund Walsh is the only Esquire recorded in...
