In the Hearth Money Rolls 1665 the following were recorded for Youghalvillage (Yeoghill  Yoghal).

James

Gabriel

Hogane

Roger

Flannury

Teige

Morrish

 

In the 1666-67 records we have the below:

Gabriell

Hogan

James

Landon

Teige

Hogan

John

McMorrogh

Teige

Hogan

Rory

Flanery

Dermott

Tohie

Edmund

O'Bryan

John

Teefie



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

So in 1665 James London / Landon is the most important. Somehow Gabriell Hogan is the most important in the 1666/67. It is likely that he is an English settler. The rest of the townland is heavily Gaelicised with Morris, Hogans, Flannerys, McGraths, Tuohys, Quinns, O’Briens and Teefeys.

There is also a McMorrogh which could be the surname MacMurrough or else could just be a descendant of a Morrogh O’Brien in the area for example. 

The next available "Census" for the area is the Tithe Appointment Books 1824.

There are only 6 people recorded with none of them being surnames from the Hearth Money Rolls.

The next available "Census" for the area is the Griffiths Valuation.

In this we do have a number of Briens (including interestingly a Timothy / Teige) and also interestingly a Teefey.

It is very possible that this Teefey is a descendant of John Teefie from the Hearth Money Roll.






By 1901 we get the following names https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Castletownarra/Youghal/

Here we see McGrath resurface and Brien continue. Teefey is no longer recorded.

Similarly McGrath, Hogan resurface and Brien continues here.

In 1911 similar
