Created by Derek Ryan

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

James

London

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

McGrath

Loghlin

Tohie

Edmund

Quine

Bryan

O'Bryan

Teige

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

McGrath again.

Hag Stones, are they an example of authentic Irish folklore or a neo-pagan import?

By Darkone CC BY-SA 2.0 The first time I ever heard of Hag-stones was this year. They are more commonly known as Adder stones and described on wikipedia as follows: " An adder stone is a type of stone, usually glassy, with a naturally occurring hole through it. Such stones have been discovered by archaeologists in both Britain and Egypt ."  In Britain they are also called hag stones , [1] witch stones , serpent's eggs , snake's eggs , or Glain Neidr in Wales , milpreve in Cornwall , adderstanes in the south of Scotland and Gloine nan Druidh ("Druids' glass" in Scottish Gaelic ) in the north. In Germany they are called Hühnergötter ("chicken gods"). In Egypt they are called aggry or aggri . Adder stones were believed to have magical powers such as protection against eye diseases or evil charms, preventing nightmares , curing whooping cough , the ability to see through fairy or witch disguises and traps if looked at ...

The Origins of the surname Ryan

NOTE: This is currently a work in progress and I ask for any feedback on what I have written. Ryan is one of the top ten surnames by population / number of people in Ireland. It would be nice if there was a simple explanation as to the meaning of the surname Ryan, unfortunately to my knowledge there isn't. The most likely explanation is that it goes back to a King or Chief of Idrone circa 900AD named Rian or Rien. It was around this time that the Irish began taking on surnames and it may be that it was after him his descendants began to be called, O or descendent of Rian. We are not sure how or when exactly the O'Mulryan name came about. It is likely that it means "descendent of the followers of Rian". However, this is not certain. We will see further down in this article that the genealogies suggest they are both descended from the same ancestor circa 900AD. Although other evidence does contradict this. Just what Rian means is not known for sure. Explana...
